Kai's verdictA-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.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.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
