Well, one thing that humans are superior at is modeling other humans, and their reactions to things. So to the extent that people do anything at all, they'll probably do that.
For example, music composition, writing fiction, and similar artistic endeavors require that the artist know what people enjoy. I think that that will be done by humans for the foreseeable future.
Also, things where you actually want the person doing it to be a person will continue. Counseling? I dunno.
Regarding music composition; there are already algorithms being developed for predicting the potential of a song becoming a hit. Next step could be algorithms that creates the songs by themselves. Its all about optimization with positive feedback. Algorithm: Create a piece of art A such that A has a high probability of satisfying the ones experiencing it. Input statistics about human nature + reaction to previous generations + reactions to man made art of the same sort. Most people wouldn't care about how that piece of art was made. (But I guess this will take a while)
Actually we already have ai composers. http://hplusmagazine.com/2010/03/22/has-emily-howell-passed-musical-turing-test/
More than that, Philip Parker has created a robot that can write book. They aren't the best, but it's still a huge start.
