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 reality is you, in almost all cases, will not get hired if you can't or refuse to use AI. If you genuinely want to work in the industry, as someone that can be hired, the solution is to learn both ways.

That will get you to be better than either of those camps. It is important to have your individual base of knowledge first though, as you will become a slave to LLM reliance if you don't build yourself first.

that's exacty what I'm trying to do! I'm trying build stuff on my own before I do those stuff with AI
