Kai's verdict	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.
