You're conflating your workplace with every other. Most dont work in financial IT with its stringent security measures.

I would never trust

Nothing output by an AI is verified

You can't trust yourself to verify it? Are you a monkey unable to read its output and conclude if it properly rewrote and reformatted what you gave it?

If I give it the info and it formats it in a table, I'm not trusting it with anything, I'm literally checking it right after. Still faster then me typing the table by hand.

It can cite its sources, so if I'm trying to learn about a subject or getting info on a product/service, I just click the links it gives me.

It's easy to learn how to use these tools properly. You can also not use them, like, just don't. It's fine. I don't get the tantrum everytime the subject comes up and the constant gatekeeping tho.
