I agree that an LLM could also generate the code for a new query language. But my point is that fewer people will attempt to author a new query language in the first place because an LLM will be writing the queries either way. So the effort would be less impactful.
I have an implicit belief that SQL isn't the most effective low level language we could have and LLMs will free us up to explore that space, similar to asm.js -> WASM. But I'm open to being wrong about that.
I think it strikes a good balance between still human-readable and low-ish.. any lower I suspect you'd need to dedicate a lot more documentation else where..
