I have that worry as well, but it may not be as bad as I feared. I am currently developing a Python serialization/deserialization library based on advanced multiple dispatch, so it is fairly different from how existing libraries work. Nonetheless, if I ask LLMs (using Cursor) to write new functionality or plugins within my framework, they are surprisingly adept at it, even with limited guidance. I expect it'll only get better in the next few years. Perhaps a set of AI directives and examples for new technologies would suffice.

In any case, there has always been a strong bias towards established technologies that have a lot of available help online. LLMs will remain better at using them, but as long as they are not completely useless on new technologies, they will also help enthusiasts and early adopters work with them and fill in the gaps.
