GitHub Copilot
Grade C held
risk 5.2 → 5.8(Worse)
Since April 2026 GitHub trains on prompts and code by default on the Free, Pro and Pro+ plans, which had required opt-in before. Entry-level developer postings were down 67 percent from 2022 levels, and new agents now run on a schedule and check their own fixes without a developer in the loop. Privacy 5 to 6, job threat 7 to 8, autonomy 5 to 6.

A camera and microphone worn on your face, wired to Meta. The people around you never agreed to any of it.
Updated OpenAI
ChatGPT
Grade D held
risk 6.6 → 7.4(Worse)
OpenAI turned on ad tracking by default for free users, a class action over query data shared with Meta and Google survived a motion to dismiss, and Agent Mode shipped autonomous multi-step tasks with memory that persists between sessions. Privacy 7 to 8, autonomy 6 to 8, lock-in 7 to 8.

D

The screening layer between you and a billion job applications, with its bias testing sealed under attorney-client privilege.
Updated Amazon
Amazon Alexa
Grade D held
risk 6.2 → 6.6(Worse)
Alexa+ reached every US user in February 2026 and has since spread to Australia, a browser version and car dashboards. It keeps memory across sessions and completes tasks on its own rather than answering one command at a time, and Amazon retired on-device voice processing in March 2025, so requests now leave the house. Autonomy 7 to 8, lock-in 8 to 9. The grade holds at D.
