The premise
Generators look similar in demos. The differences that bite are control (masks, references), licensing for commercial use, and style consistency.
What AI does well here
- Compare on: style range, control, license, brand-lock.
- Suggest small tests for your style.
- Identify license terms for commercial output.
What AI cannot do
- Promise a tool will match your brand without testing.
- Resolve copyright ambiguity.
- Replace a brand designer.
