No, not like a human assistant. Competent humans will use logical reasoning, non-digital signals like body language and audible clues, and know the limits of their knowledge, so are more likely to ask for missing input. Humans will also be more predictable.
Humans are easier to trust because (IME) their motivations and reasoning are easier to understand and evaluate.
You trust all sorts of technology and services: Your computer (and of course that includes an incredible, integrated collection of hardware and software), your car, the plane you flew on, your lightswitch, weekly garbage collection, the fire extinguisher, the chair you are sitting in (will it collapse?), your hammer and the nail you just pounded in. The list is effectively infinite.
This technology is new, but soon it will be old and trusted too.
You're missing the point. The point is, trust grows with familiarity and a track record.
