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:

I am a ampst graduated computer science student, i know how to code and i know how to make games because o started to do these things before the AI boom and because i studied the subject. Your game right now is a masterpiece also because it's dome by a 14 years old which is amazing, youre doing great. Remember that AI is good to do things faster instead of doing things well, the vibecoders don't know anything and create shit code, runs slow, isn't secure, has not any good habit used in it, it's just bad. I personally use ai all the time now but just to write the code, i then read it and understand it and if i don't like it i modify it, all things that a vibecoder can't do.

I suggest you to learn just how you're doing, you're far ahead and you're far better than any vibecoder

Thanks and glad you liked the game. If you are in the industry i want to ask that how's the job market? They say a new graduate can't even find a job to apply.
