What's the difference between a photo I generated with AI vs , say, one I edited using Adobe's AI-driven toolkit?
This is a great debate and the right answer here for Sony (and everyone) is to have an open dialogue with creators and consider new sorts of categories and classifications so that we may revel in the spice of life – instead of letting it undermine/destroy the indefinable nature of art!
Sony always finds itself at the forefront of these kinds of discussions because they want to eat their cake while keeping their cake: their business model is to create and sell technology to enhance and simplify the audiovisual artistic processes, but if they enhance and simplify it too much they lower the price floor and pull money out of the market... Money they want.
As the MC Lars lyric goes, "Epic's up in my face like, 'Don't steal our songs, Lars' / While Sony sells the burners that are burning CD-R's."
