Weaknesses	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Pricey for serious volume Long shots still feel off Ethics — easy to misuse	Still catching up on quality vs Kling/Runway Less control than pros need
Kai's verdict	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.	A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.
