Weaknesses	General output behind Midjourney Can be overwhelming	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney + Ideogram Text rendering worse than Ideogram No fine control	Pricey for serious volume Long shots still feel off Ethics — easy to misuse	Image generation is weak No native web search on all tiers
Kai's verdict	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.	S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.	S-tier for reasoning and writing. If you only pay for one chatbot, pay for this one — especially for long work.
