Kai's verdictS-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
