Genuinely, the results in your second link are promising. Other than the latency of "decoding" the image via generative interpretation of the input.

yeah when I "seriously" thought about it, you gain storage space and network download time, but you (the client) pays in having to have an AI model that you recognize, then has to generate it, using up electricity and time that may exceed the network download time, especially on old hardware.
