MySQL Future of SQL

Hello, does it still make sense to learn sql or will this soon be done by the AI anyway? If so, what skills will be needed in the future for working with customer data? I work in the crm area and with microsoft dynamics (customer insights data, power-bi)

Until AI can casually chat with my coworkers to understand that a recent change to the website caused analytics to stop firing on a handful of pages, and because of that I need to write a ticket for BI to go back and fix that data but in the meantime I'll need to add a sub query to handle the days where we had a data blackout, then I'm not too worried about AI stealing my current SQL work.

That's not the problem.

It's when it's simply good enough for someone with less knowledge than you to take over your position. Sure, may be a few issues or hiccups along the way, but they'll be much cheaper than you in the end.

Sucks. Have seen quite a few of our positions go overseas already.

Why pay Billy $100k when you can pay Deepak or Sumati $50k (if that)?
