OpenAI ChatGPT falls short on ethical standards primarily due to its acquisition of training data without informed consent (resulting in lawsuits and fines), its failure to clearly distinguish AI from human interactions through built-in identification or watermarking, the absence of comprehensive independent bias audits despite documented political and demographic biases, and court-mandated indefinite data retention that contradicts user privacy expectations and the right to erasure, compounded by the system being designed more as a replacement tool than an augmentation tool with minimal safeguards for human oversight.

Google Gemini falls short on ethical standards primarily due to its major 2024 bias incident producing historically inaccurate and "completely unacceptable" outputs (acknowledged by CEO Sundar Pichai), combined with opaque training data sources and decision-making processes, lack of published comprehensive bias audits, removal of reasoning traces that reduced developer transparency, documented evidence of "covert manipulation tactics" and deceptive user practices, and insufficient disclosure about labor practices in AI training and moderation, reflecting a pattern of prioritizing system capabilities over transparent, accountable, and equitable AI deployment.

Perplexity falls short on ethical standards primarily due to widespread accusations and legal threats from major publishers for allegedly ignoring robots.txt protocols, scraping protected content without permission, bypassing paywalls using undisclosed IP addresses and spoofed user agent strings, combined with no published algorithmic bias audits despite accusations of "promoting scientific racism in search results," publicly accessible uploaded images even after deletion, and a business model that allegedly exploits content creators' intellectual property without proper attribution or compensation while keeping users on their platform and diverting traffic from original publishers.

Grok fails to meet ethical standards primarily because it illegally processed data from approximately 60 million EU users without consent through manipulative default opt-in practices, demonstrates severe political bias including programmed instructions to censor criticism of Elon Musk and Donald Trump, suffered high-profile safety failures, and advances a concerning philosophy of AI replacing rather than augmenting human judgment (including proposals to replace judges and "rewrite human knowledge"), all while lacking transparent bias audits and maintaining some of the least mature risk management practices in the industry.

Meta fails to meet ethical standards primarily because it systematically prioritizes business revenue over user rights through manipulative design practices, unauthorized data collection for AI training without meaningful consent, record-breaking privacy violations, and the replacement of critical human oversight with automated systems, all while employing dark patterns that exploit rather than enhance user wellbeing.
