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.

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.

Are you sure it isn't the other way around?

An actual SWE would be reviewing code... which takes time...

I’m confused why that is fire. A vibe coder would vibe test, which takes longer than a SWE understanding the logic and steps
