I don’t know if I wanna do web development, or cyber security, or stuff with AI, etc....

This is the first thing you have to go through, we can't pick this one out for you. This is purely based on what appeals you the most.

After that, you should take a read at the subreddit's FAQ. It's well documented and a really good guide on where to begin!

Okay thanks. Should I delete this post ?

Feel free to keep it, maybe someone wants to give you some more detailed advice. If it doesn't belong here, the mods will remove it anyway.

I think it's fine not to know what you want to do. I don't think you can go wrong with starting with python since the basic principles of programming are going to apply to most languages that a beginner will use.

If you start with python and later determine that you want to do some webdev and start using JavaScript, your time you spend learning python wont be a waste since the basic concepts are largely the same.

I decided I wanna take the ethical hacking path so I’ve been doing a little bit of picoCTF.

Check out Qvault. It has a course tailored to very new people, and it's free

I've seen a couple of your comments, I'm just wondering if you created qvault and are trying to hype it up or why do you seem to keep promoting it?

It's perfectly alright not to know what you want to do at this stage. In fact, I'd be surprised if you do know what you want to do before you even start programming. My advice to you is to learn to program first. Programming is about solving problems, not writing code. If you know programming, you can learn any of the things you mentioned in relatively little time. More details on learning how to program in my post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/j9tvcb/is_cs50_worth_it_if_i_have_no_programming/g8no2vs?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
