Earlier quoted context omitted.
There are hundreds of text-to-SQL companies and integrations already. What's different about this that makes you react like that?
Those companies will be dead once this goes mainstream. Why pay to a 3rd party company when you can ask LLM to create graphs and analysis of whatever you want. Pair it with scheduled tasks and I really don't see any value in those SaaS products.
Nuanced BI analytics can have a lot of toggles and filters and drilldowns, like compare sales of product A in category B subcategory C, but only for stores in regions X,Y and that one city Z during time periods T1, T2. and out of these sales, look at sales of private brand vs national brand, and only retail customers, but exclude purchases via business credit card or invoiced.
with every feature in a DB (of which there could be thousands), the number of permutations and dimensions grows very quickly.
whats probably going to happen, is simple questions could be self-served by GenAI, but more advanced usage is still needed interention by specialist. So we would see some improvement in productivity, but people will not lose jobs. Perhaps number of jobs could even increase due to increased demand for analytics, as it often happens with increased efficiency/productivity (Jevon's paradox)
