Kai's verdictS-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
