You don't trust it yet, like a new human assistant you might hire - will they be able to handle all the variables? Eventually, they earn your trust and you start offloading everything to their inbox.

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.
