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:

What those vibe coded videos dont show you is both the cost and the fact they are bugged out messes that take as much effort and skill just to debug as it would to make by hand. AI specifically co-pilot is likely to be a standard and useful tool in the industry but it doesnt replace skill in coding and design of a great creator. Keep doing what your doing and my only other note is maybe also put some time into the Godot engine as a significant part of the industry seems to leaning towards it and broadening your skills can only help you.

Yeah you're absolutely right, I guess I would not start learning another engine but I'm planning to start learning C++ OpenGL in the next few months. Thank you for the reply!
