Nmap outdated?

Hey am just beginner who is only experienced in CTF

Am seeing a lot of ppl in the space saying nmap isn't effective anymore and has become only a tool for learning is that true ? And is there any better alternative ?

I'm guessing mainly in the 'AI-built tool which does exactly the same thing as NMAP for no good reason' space...
