Read the paper... Zstd, while it might be better than gzip or bzip, is still a very poor compressor compared to an ideal compressor (which hasn't yet been discovered). That is why zstd acts like a rather bad AI. Note that if you wanted to use zstd as an AI, you would patch out of the source code checksum checks, and you would then feed it a file to decompress (The cat sat on the mat), followed by a few bytes of random noise. A great compressor would output: The cat sat on the mat. It was comfortable, so he then lay down to sleep. A medium compressor would output: The cat sat on the mat. bat cat cat mat sat bat. A terrible compressor would output: The cat sat on the mat. D7s"/r %we See how each is using knowledge at different levels to generate a completion. Notice also how that few bytes generates different amounts of output depending on the compressors level of world understanding, and therefore compression ratio.
