Kai's verdict	S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
