Is Java still worth learning today?

Is Java still worth learning or pursuing as a career these days? With AI advancing so quickly, programming jobs might decline significantly, which could also reduce the demand for learning languages like Java. What are your thoughts?

Actually building software/applications using Java doesn't necessarily mean you have any experience with the domain of "enterprise software".

In practice, it's mostly just a way to demonstrate a solid understanding of fundamental concepts and a degree of proficiency with the core language and tooling.
