I wonder increasingly with tools like ChatGPT whether ORMs make sense anymore? The argument I've always heard for ORMs is that they make it quick and easy to make the initial repository method, and that they make migrating to a new DB easier (hypothetically).

It seems to me LLMs now help fill both those roles, but with the benefit that you can now tune the SQL as needed. I also always prefer actually knowing exactly what queries are going to my DB, but YMMV.
