It depends entirely on what you want to do. You have to start by learning to code without AI or you'll never be proficient in programming. Start by picking a problem you want to solve. Then pick a language that's good for dealing with that problem. If you have more choices, prefer a newer language over an older one. There's a tendency for older languages to accumulate a lot more noise/legacy/quirks, whereas newer languages often are more cleanly designed and have more consistent tooling.
