Sony clarifies AI Camera Assistant on Xperia 1 XIII makes suggestions, not edits, but example photos remain poor

A weekday bagel. Dependable, satisfying, no fuss.
Summary
Sony is attempting to clarify how its AI Camera Assistant feature works on the Xperia 1 XIII after a poorly received promotional post. The company insists the AI does not edit photos but instead offers suggestions for exposure, color, background blur, and even "the most photogenic angle" (though the demo only shows zoom suggestions). Despite the clarification, the article notes that Sony's example photos remain unimpressive.
