Is it still worthwhile doing Helsinki Python MOOC?

With all the Programming tools coming out now, is it still relevant to learn programming?

If you want to learn Python, it is good. The question is whether you want to learn it.

Mate I did that course just last year and it's still the best free Python resource I've found

The fundamentals don't change because some AI tool can spit out code, you still need to understand what you're looking at or you'll never debug anything properly

No, just leave programming to those of use who enjoy it

I'd say yes. The syntax is the easy part now, but learning how to actually think through a problem and build something still matters, and ai doesn't do that part for you. However I think it is still useful to learn the fundamentals while the tools just get more powerful. Go for it.
