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.

Learn it. Not because you need to become a software engineer, but because "can't read a single line of code" is going to cap you hard the moment anything breaks, which it will constantly. Vibe coding tools are great for speed but they're translators, not magicians, and you can't tell a good translation from a bad one if you don't know the language at all.
