This is like Huffman compression on your photos but the AI companies created an exabyte size dictionary and now you can store your photo in a few kilobytes.

The key to all modern "AI" bullshit (ChatGPT, StableDiffusion etc) is that they're just exquisite lossy compressors, where a good-enough perceptual loss function has been learned automatically.
There's nothing wrong with that until people start assuming they're lossless (like Huffman encoding) which they definitely are not. Unfortunately the general public doesn't understand the difference.
