Just curious, has anyone ever obtained a better mix by using an AI product compare to doing it yourself?

I'm asking because I still produce better-sounding mixes by manually applying my plugins.

Yes.  

Not with AI everywhere, but the occasional source/track I'll get a more refined outcome than I was getting.

Using Ozone or Neutron?

Generally speaking, Sonible's Smart EQ will do a better, and far more subtle, job eq'ing than I will.  I tend to be a bit of a bull in a china shop with EQ.  Also, AIYAC's Mix Monolith gets me in the ballpark of a decent mix really quickly.

When iZotope Ozone can't do it, I'll just Sonible Smart EQ & Smart Limiter combination, especially if I want transparency.

I use Ozone a lot, but I usually turn off the maximizer and use Sonible Smart Limiter instead. 

I own Neutron, but rarely use it, because I love to use my random sort of plugins for each track that different companies create / specialize with.  The all in one Neutron just doesn't serve me well.

Yes - sometimes.  Also have the T-Racks 6 suite and some Sonible products.  I would also count Supertone Clear and that I use more than others on Vocal work not recorded in an entirely dead space.
