Better than ever, even. For the vast majority of crap they're just deleting it sight unseen. My GMail spam folder used to have over 10,000 messages (with them auto-deleting after 30 days). Today it has 192, which is small enough to search for the occasional false positive.
(Real false positives are very rare. I do try to mark things that were legitimate law-following commercial emails, so that I can unsubscribe but signal that they're OK to anybody who might actually want them. Aggravatingly, the Red Cross did not actually support its unsubscribe link, so I gave up and let it be marked as spam.)
