I have a Prusa i3 Mk3 and a Bambu P1S and I have to disagree. They are in entirely different leagues. The Prusa was a step change improvement from an Ender 3, and the Bambu is a step change from the Prusa i3 Mk3. It definitely depends on what you're printing, but I personally saw all my print failures on the Prusa pretty much go away overnight with Bambu.

This is largely because early screen-space AO techniques weren't able to accurately estimate whether the pillar is freestanding (and shouldn't darken the wall) or if it is against the wall (and should darken the wall.)

Modern real-time ambient occlusion techniques can estimate the depth far more accurately and produce correspondingly more believable results, at the cost of performance.
