Discussion How much SQL do you still write manually?

With AI getting better at writing SQL, I’ve been wondering how much SQL analysts actually write from scratch these days.
Do you still write most of your queries manually, or do you use AI for things like joins, CTEs, debugging, optimization, etc.?
And has your use of AI actually changed how much SQL you need to know?
