| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
