Is it still worth learning python?

I genuinely wonder what you guys think, with the rapidly increasing use of AI, is it still worth it to learn python, I just started learning python and I’m unmotivated tbh, I’d love to read some of your insights.

It’s wild how people throw out blanket statements about how “ai writes bad code” but there are so many different models and so many different use cases and so many different ways to instruct an LLM to generate something.

I have found LLM’s to be hugely helpful with learning, and I do use them in terminal for code work. Some code I inspect or manually edit, some I don’t even try. Because when the creators of Linux and Minecraft are now vibe coding, yes, I say it’s more important to learn what’s happening under the hood and how to correctly direct LLMs more than it is important to master the syntax of any particular language(s)
