Exactly. It quickly builds a lot of technical debt that must be paid down, especially for people writing code in areas they aren't deep in.
For tight tasks it can be super helpful -- like for me, an AI/Data Science guy, setting up a basic reverse proxy. But I do so with a ton of scrutiny -- pushing it, searching on Kagi or docs to at least confirm the code, etc. This is helpful because I don't have a mental map about reverse proxy -- so it can help fill in gaps but only with a lot of reticence.
That type of use really doesn't justify the billion dollar valuations of any companies, IMO.

Give me python, Matlab, rust, I can put something together, but something like nginx and I've simply never dived deep enough for a solid understanding before using an LLM to understand more.
