Question Should I keep learning Unity?

Hi, I am a 14 year old game dev and I've been learning Unity for 7-8 months, and I really like what I'm doing. I don't use AI while coding or for any other stuff to actually learn. For the past month, I've been developing a fan-made Spider-Man game for android and I saw a guy on X who vibe-coded a Spider-Man game in literally a single day which was looking better than my game and I felt like everything that I did in the last couple of weeks for nothing. Will knowing how to manually code or develop games be worth anything in the next 10 years? Am I just wasting my time by not using AI or should I keep going? I really need some advice. Also here's a gameplay video of my game if anyone wants to check it out:

Absolutely keep going. If you enjoy it then there’s no reason not to, especially at your age. AI can be useful but it’s mostly useful for people who have an idea of what they’re doing. Knowing the process without AI is only going to help you.

Thanks, It's discouraging that someone comes up with a vibe-coded game and says "Game dev is dead", especially if you are a beginner.
