I'm more worried about people constantly believing that every new framework is a major advancement for programming and that it's not just something that could be learned in an afternoon (e.g. React). Or about people following the latest hyped trend without learning anything and without producing much other than more hype.

AI,ML and VR are all really interesting, but as we all know they are not completely new and will not likely account for the majority of the future jobs.

Fundamentals are what matter, most of these "new things" are just something that you can learn with relatively limited effort if needed. Classic programming skills, analytical skills or things like the ability to reason about concurrency issues never go obsolete.
