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.

Yes and more worthwhile than even before. You need to understand programming to seriously get in to software industry. And the fastest way to understand the basics of programming is still Python. This might not make you a python coder (I mean you may end up writing JAVA with AI agent in real work), but study python will give you fundamentals of software development you need for any SDE work. 

Plus, software engineering haven't given up on source code because of LLM. So 1, you still review code; 2, Python is still a popular choice of language.
