That still baffles me to this day. --Edit-- I think there are differences between the case of using this for compression and how Xerox implemented (which they claim was due to compression). It can be argued that most advanced codecs of today already handle compression via very complex and advanced heuristics already comparable to what a lot of people would confuse for AI and/or ML today, so I think it's not as spooky as it may sound at first. The Xerox implementation actually changed values on the page from one to another innocuously. I would hope that the AI being talked about is not "This 6 looks more like it should be an 8, so I'm going to put one there upon decode" and more like, "this block or unit of the image has these characteristics, and theses methods work very well to reproduce these characteristics when next to these other blocks..." etc. But that's the best way I can phrase it.
