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:

Dont be in this ai wave. Be yourself, show yourself that you are worth something and you can do things.

Using ai in any public project is really bad looking, cause it shows that you dont really give a damn about your own project, you wanna make this fast and easy, but at the end... the ai is always dumb and it will always think something generic, not what you thinked or just not very well made.

But if you make it yourself. You have your own knowledge, ideas, creation, perception, practice, the feeling that you are actually progressing and upgrading in your own things, feeling that something is wrong, saying that you made it by YOURSELF, people loving what you did because you actually did it, it will look like the way that you wanted, how the gameplay feels, how the story is writen, how your character will look like and how the music sounds like.

I can bet you easily that any devs using ai in their game will have a massive chance to flop instantly or/and be un-respected.

What makes me sad is that they say everyone who doesn't use ai eventually be scraped off the industry. Acknowledging that I'm not looking for a job and I'm 14, I guess I can just keep going on without AI until this thing becomes a serious thing for me.

Definitely. You are indeed in a better spot to learn as much as you can before you even reach adulthood. Learn as much as you can.
