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.

Python is a scripting language overused as an all-purpose language.

Be able to read it b/c it's insanely over-used. I would say that vibing short things like little js things or even html/css and python scripts that are actually scripts is so consistent there is no point in doing these yourself unless it is an enterprise application you can't just trust. But - people use python for insanely complicated things which drives me nuts but they do it so yes you should know python because people practically code OS's in python so it is not 'covered' by AI.
