You miss the point.

Sony will still do it. It’s about who gets to profit from making humans less valuable as creators, not about whether or not it will happen.

This is about rent seeking by huge corporations, ultimately, since they own huge swaths of rights to creative works and can easily acquire more.

This IS happening. The question is will the benefits to society be democratized to some extent, or will they be concentrated to benefit only the major industry players?
