SNOW-1899126: Fix malformed sql for functions that create internal alias

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -8,6 +8,12 @@
 
 - Improved query generation for `Dataframe.stat.sample_by` to generate a single flat query that scales well with large `fractions` dictionary compared to older method of creating a UNION ALL subquery for each key in `fractions`. To enable this feature, set `session.conf.set("use_simplified_query_generation", True)`.
 
+#### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed a bug for the following functions that raised errors `.cast()` is applied to their output
+  - `from_json`
+  - `size`
