Best answer so far. Technology fads come and go. Anyone in the business for any length of time has seen so many of them. If you just get your news from the HN bubble, you're likely to believe AI/ML is all anyone does anymore, but I'd speculate that it's needed in less than 1% of all programming projects out there now and in the near future.
If you're a programmer, focus on the fundamentals: Learn to write new code and maintain legacy code. Learn to write tests. Learn API design. Learn how to estimate projects. Learn to differentiate between a risky code change and one that isn't risky. Learn to refactor something without changing its functionality. Read/know the literature. Don't get hung up on any particular language, framework or technology.
