Kai's verdict	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.	S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.	A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.
