Where are you on this slider?
Most people are at different stages for different tasks. Locate yourself honestly.
Stage 1
"I review every ChatGPT response before sharing it"
Stage 2
"I let Claude write a whole essay then I edit it"
Stage 3
"I have it auto-respond to emails and check the inbox once a day"
Stage 4
"It manages my calendar and only alerts me on conflicts"
You might be at stage 3 for writing and stage 1 for anything touching money. That's healthy — it means you're thinking about trust per decision class, not AI use in general.
