       @hn50 that’s a good analogy! Not only is the compression lossy, the decompression is prone to corrupting the original data just depending on how you prompt it! Imagine [legally] downloading a film just to find its been ‘special AIdition’d’ , adding bonus distorted creatures in the foreground because you had previously been [legally] viewing a nature documentary.
