1 It depends on what you mean by AI replacing human writers.  Youtuber WDW Pro made the best comparison I've seen yet by comparing the introduction of AI  to the introduction of the 4 function calculator.  It will absolutely put a whole bunch of people dedicated to manual labor out of work, but it will make everybody else so efficient you'll generate more than enough jobs to replace them.  He went on to prove you can 'replace' human  writers by using ChatGPT to create a passable script for a Seinfeld episode from scratch in under an hour, but it took both ChatGPT and WDW Pro working together to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lo024BhzmU
The author Evan Currie also posted some streams in YouTube and Twitch of his efforts to try to write a book using ChatGPT with considerable less success, though what he did get was amazing.

2 I think doing middling-bad raceswap rewrites of existing IP is what AI chatbots were born to do, and yes!  they will put thousands of shitty disney scriptwriters out of work.
Speaking of terrible ideas, I want to reissue a bunch of classic, public-domain books, but with the titles rewritten as  21st century clickbait:  "You Won't Believe What This Machine Can Do!" by H. G. Wells.  "This City Doesn't Actually Exist!"  by Thomas More.  "Guy Discovers His Real Parents And What Happens Next Is Heartbreaking!" by Henry Fielding.

3 Those sound like modern manga titles, just far shorter.

4 I'm pretty sure most of humanity died after the mechanization of agricutlrue put farmers out of work, and after the computer put secretarial pools out of work. 

There must be only five humans left alive, and three of them will die because AI took their jobs.

5 I was (more or less) hoping to inspire some other titles, but okay, let us try some more: "A Knight Cuts Off This Green Guy's Head, And You Won't Believe What Happens Next!" Anonyous circa 1350 "You Won't Believe What This Guy Dreamed About When He Was Dreaming About Dreaming . . ." by William Langland "This Guy Gets Gored By a Pig, And What His GIrlFriend DOes Next Is Literally Unbelievable!" by Wm. Shakespeare "This Epic Story Has So Many Knights You Won't Be Able To Believe What Happens!" by Edmund Spenser
