Like many uses of AI, very good as a "seed" especially if it comes up with nuggets like grouping on a range instead of a single value. But as with almost any database, devil is in details. Different products have different interp of "quantity" (e.g. box vs. unit), coupons and discounts are modeled in weird ways, weights are assumed to be pounds/kg and are mixed without assigning units, etc. etc.

Good point. However, AI may also train on the database metadata, including DDL comments, locale, etc. and perform data sampling to glean the nuances that are "understood".
