Adjusting your preferences is easy and can be done at any time.
Oracle verdict
This is a lower-to-mid strength vendor signal for the capability register. It does not prove displacement on its own, but it records another platform step that can later show up as workflow automation, procurement change, or organisational dependency.
Why it matters

Do not treat vendor optimism as neutral; separate the measurable capability claim from the comfort language around it. ## Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy Source: https://www.anthropic.com/news/updates-to-our-consumer-terms Publisher: Anthropic Category: Vendor framing Sector: Cybersecurity Capability: Vendor platform capability signal Score: 42/100 Claim: Today, we're rolling out updates to our Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy that will help us deliver even more capable, useful AI models.
