I guess you need to compartmentalise into different kinds of 'trust'. The not 'trusting' you do with a computer is different from the trusting you do with fellow humans in daily life. They just happen to use the same word in English.

I trust the computer far more than the fellow humans. The computer will generally give a predictable output for a given input. "fellow humans in daily life" .... not so much.
Human variability and unpredictability can also be a source of creativity. But I understand you completely
I hope you never have to cross a street, or get anywhere near a car with a human behind the wheel.
Its terrifying; sometimes when I am crossing the street people accelerate, sometimes they slow down, sometimes they stop at red lights, sometimes they drive through them.
If it is a tesla computer you can be certain it wont stop.
That's why I don't have a driver's license
Yes, but alas other people do.
