We have democracies and elections to avoid getting stuck with crazy or incompetent rulers for too long. We have justice systems and laws to mitigate and ameliorate damage from humans with anti-social tendencies. We have intelligence agencies to collect information from and wage disinformation campaigns against our geopolitical rivals.

Maybe at some point we will learn to distrust them more than we distrust humans but for now, humans are the high bar for distrust.
