Kai's verdict	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.	S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
