Kai's verdictS-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
