We're talking about very specialized engineering work,

We're not though. This isn't a policy preventing them from disclosing them from talking about specific company IP (which is almost certainly covered by existing NDAs already). This prevents them from using it internally at all.

I use ChatGPT at work all the time, usually for getting very specific information about products I have to integrate with, quickly parsing new API documentation, and learning about unfamiliar processes at a conceptual level before I have to dive deeper for a project. It's more the context around which I'll be building the specialized IP. It's the sort of stuff I can learn via Googling (or sometimes Stack Exchange), but can learn it faster in a more targeted manner by asking detailed questions to the chatbot.

That's because it's too easy to accidentally feed it information you shouldn't.

Everyone working at big companies knows very well they must not talk about company's stuff outside of it, but it's too easy to underestimate how much info you actually give up with queries you think might be "innocent" ones.
