Kai's verdictA-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.
