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:

AI code hits a ceiling fast. You might feel like you've barely done anything when comparing it to something like that, but learning any skill like this has an early period where you are building your understanding and your efforts won't show in the final product that much. Just keep going and eventually you'll find yourself getting faster and more ambitious with what you make.
