  Reminiscent of Vernor Vinge's "evocations", as mentioned in A Fire Upon the Deep: > The screen showed a color image with high resolution. Looking at it carefully, one realized the thing was a poor evocation…. Kjet recognized Owner Limmende and Jan Skrits, her chief of staff, but they looked several years out of style. Ølvira [the ship] was matching old video with the transmitted animation cues. The actual communication channel was less that four thousand bits per second; Central was taking no chances. > [...] > The picture was crisp and clear, but when the figures moved it was with cartoonlike awkwardness. And some of the faces belonged to people Kjet knew had been transferred […] The processors here on the Ølvira were taking the narrow-band signal from Fleet Central, fleshing it out with detailed (and out of date) background and evoking the image shown.

    Sounds a lot like DALL-E plus a finely tuned training database on both ends could create this sort super-compression if we wanted to. I could imagine having a crisp, real-time (But artificial) 4K video conference at a few kb/s.

    Nvidia is already working on this.

      The novel I'm quoting was written in 1992. :)
