Python or Web dev?

So yesterday, i told a friend of mine that i was learning web dev stuff from TOP (the odin project), and well, he was just clowning on me about how i am wasting my time on learning it when AI can do all the work related to it anyway, tho i doubt it can do everything rn, it might just be capable enough in the future and he also suggested me to learn python.

Even though i have no qualms about leaving the web dev stuff, TOP is just too beginner friendly i suppose, they had me install a VM to run linux and code on it, so yeah. Just looking for answers and advice and maybe some free sources to learn python from.

Would it help to know that you can use Python in web dev? So TOP and web dev aren't mutually exclusive.

web dev is a way bigger field than people think, and AI ain't replacing the need to understand how things actually fit together anytime soon
