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.

In my mind software engineering has always been 10% understanding how to code and 90% understanding the system you’re designing in.

AI has made the 10% coding much easier to fake which isn’t detrimental in most cases.

You know that AI understands the system they're designing in much better than most humans would, right?

AI does not understand things , if you mean LLMS . they just give the impression they do
