Important to remember that this type of codec can be used as a backup for higher-bandwidth codecs. You don’t necessarily need to hear it’s artifacts all the time. The higher level codec also only needs to encode the differences between the prediction and groundtruth. The same thinking applies to video especially of faces. Neural nets are a huge leap forward for this type of data compression and will likely be used pretty much everywhere in the future with great success.
