| Kai's verdict | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs. |
