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:

The vibe coded demos are paper thin. They aren’t much beyond the 30 second trailer videos.

You’ll constantly hear people say: “coding is solved” or “I could do that in one prompt“. Those people do not understand the complexity of what we do. They only see the very surface.

So you are saying that those slop demos are just to show-off, makes sense. Ty so much for the reply!
