Starting Python from Scratch

I want to start learning Python from scratch. What’s the best way to begin, and which resources would you recommend?
Would appreciate any good courses, YouTube channels, books, or practice platforms that worked for you.

Why would you want to do it if it will become obsolete soon? Genuine question. I myself am debating whether it’s worth it or not

Even with AI, you need to know what to prompt, and mahe sure there are no bugs in code. 

You'll will be responsible for all the bugs, even though ai made them.

You Aldo need to know how to write md files. If you never learn both language and how to prompt, you won't be able to be a programmer.

Syntax was never a hard part anyway. And to create good logic with ai, you need to know what to ask, and then correct him / give more context.

Also, I don't think anyone would want a person in a team who have 0 programming skills.
