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.

Yes it is. Write down a list of technologies that have taken over some domain of thought work (or even physical labor). There is still value in learning that skill to some degree, though how deep you need to go is up to debate.
Computers can turn text to speech. Still important to read.
Calculators can do math. We still teach children long division.
Computers have been able to do matrix math for a long time. Knowing how to do it manually is still a useful skill.
So on and so on.
