If the AI's query pulled what I intended to pull, why should I care to understand the SQL any more than I should understand the Query Plan or the Machine Code?

There's nothing wrong with using SQL only when you know in advance exactly which records you wish to query.

But if you ever need to query unknown data, then probably you should learn SQL a bit deeper.

As with regex, querying is about not getting what you don't want as much as it is about getting what you want. And the former of the two is much more difficult to verify.
