Humans are more than capable of distrust, but I think manipulating people to erroneously trust something is still a threat as long as scams exist.
I think a significant factor of individual trust is someone's technical knowledge of how their systems or tools work, shown by how some software engineers actively limit their children's exposure to tech versus a lot of mothers letting the internet babysit their kids. Apparently we can't rely on that knowledge being widespread (yet).
