    You’re saying save one jpeg with the intent to reproduce exactly that image. I’m saying if you have a million images you have turned into weights, it won’t exactly reproduce anything unless there is very limited training data on what you’re having it predict.

          Isn’t it? Both methods just produced a data structure you can query to obtain a statistical approximation of a subset of the input data.

          Just because you moved the statistics from the JPEG to the ZIP file? That makes it ok?

            Do you think two students writing an essay on the same topic is plagiarism? No? Then congratulations, you understand why a lossy copy is not remotely the same thing as a statistical model.

            Really, you just chucked the word “statistical” into a poor description of JPEG, and refused all efforts to explain why that comparison does not work.

                Quantization in transformation space. I could explain it in enough detail for you to recreate the codecs I’ve written, if I thought you were actually listening.

                In the next reply, I’m going to print out your entire comment history, clip each word into a hat, and pull them out at random, to see if you still respond with equally nonsensical posturing about JPEG.

                In the reply after that, I’m going to copy-paste that posturing, but change a few letters.

                Everyone but you can see out the difference in these concepts.
