And then this automation contributes in turn to this "low-trust environment", removing one more human interaction from your day and further erroding the social fabric. Taken to the extreme, this only ends with everyone completely isolated and talking to AIs all day, like in Asimov's The Naked Sun. Not really my preferred vision of the future, tbh.

you gotta stop thinking "low/high-trust" everywhere you put your eyes on.
