My biggest concern is that this will allow people to type a question and get a number back from the database, without being able to tell if the query is right or if the LLM just made up something.

It can work to support business analysts to crank out more reporters, but I wouldn’t roll it out to all my staff.

I've actually done exactly what @qsort suggested and outputted the intermediate SQL query and raw data generated by that query when generating the response back to the user. That definitely helps in establishing more trust with the customer since they can verify the response. My approach right now is to just be honest with our customers in the capabilities of the tool, acknowledge its shortcomings, and keep iterating over time to make it better and better. That's what the team in charge of our company-wide custom LLM has done and it's gained a surprising amount of traction and trust over the last few months.
