Does anyone use Sampler AI or any other image to height AI?

Each update I waste some time  to see if Substance Sampler AI does anything useful  finally  and always just shrug  and go away.      Image to material usually does something just marginally better than old crazy bump . Ads halos around height details   and looks same awful at sharp light angles.  

  Surprisingly it sometimes works better as text to image  first.   But usually does small 1x1m useless pieces , repeating like hell and never do what you actually want.  

I assume I try to use it for something not available in  typical  material libraries  sampler Ai is trained on probably.  Something too much of a real nature origin.   It does better  for example  on fabric  textures  or other man made materials.  But not on subjects I usually do like beat up road sides and edges . Dried out mud streams etc 

  They regularly  claim improvements  while I see  no difference  really.     Wonder is there any other AI that do image to height  better?    What's the state of AI assisted height reconstruction  currently?    

 Wonder whats a common opinion?  Does Sampler require   more patience and experience.  Would show you its best  with more time spent ?   The rest of  the soft is perfectly doable in both Painter and Designer  with less software resistance imo so it's hard to spend lots of time with it.
