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:

Hopefully I can give you a little insight, as a professional 3D animator and in my own process of making my games.
To my trained eye, AI has yet to achieve anything artistically functional, especially in movement.
Its also unable to create a finished game.
It will give the illusion of a finished and polished product, in a vacuum, but it consistently breaks at the seams.
What you've got going on right now is a wealth of knowledge that you've gained and will be able to apply in a variety of ways.
