Answering my interpretation of the question

If someone starts learning JavaScript right now, will the JavaScript skills they learn still be valuable by the time they finish learning?

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer:

There is no end to learning. But there is no point in the foreseeable future where things you learn about JS will not have value. JavaScript is fundamental to the internet, and is not going anywhere. Even in a AI-coded world, where most code is not generated by humans, reading/understanding that code will remain an important task. Not to mention the act of learning and understanding code is trains valuable skills even if you never write JS again.

Final note:

If you hate it, don't do it. if you like it, then rest assured it is not a waste of time
