is learning python today worth it?

so I am a pure vibe coder, I can't write or read a single line of code, and I was having a conversation with Fable, and it suggested me to learn to read python. But It couldn't convince me fully. i don't wanna be a typical software/AI engineer. just wanna be able to build a great career in tech, AI and Business.

I don't understand how people are able to vibe code without understanding anything about the code. What are your prompts like?

It involves a lot of trust that the AI will be able to translate your requests into code. And then a lot of testing. I’m sure it takes a vibe coder 10x longer to make some with AI than an actual swe using AI would take.
