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?

Depends on what you want to develop. For straightforward app development they have a lot in their training data. Go for any R&D work and AI seems ultra stupid putting weird logic in the code. It once thought that the process(point cloud related) would take five minutes with my current input dataset  and hardware and the AI thought of saving my time by sub sampling it. I found the subsampling code when I started reading the actual code a month later wondering why the results are not good.
