Kai's verdictS-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
