Some tools are good even though they have a high barrier to entry.
That people use resources to help them use tools they don't understand too well is hardly new. e.g. Classically you might copy-paste from StackOverflow after finding an error, or some people watch YouTube videos about it.
I'd say LLMs make it easier to get to the point where you can understand it, though. So it's an accessibility increase.

This isn't related to Nix, though. You could ask an LLM to create the most mainstream Python code ever and blindly trusting it would make as much sense.
For system management, Nix has the advantage of being declarative. e.g. For NixOS you get to read the code and review what it's doing.
