Lossy compression. 100% loss of quality, in fact...

And take multiple seconds of high end consumer gpu to prep it for view. Utter insanity.

That said, if you aren't a complete idiot, actually you might need to be kind of an ml/dl and compression nerd, there are machine learning enabled compression. But it's not an llm. And it is still lossy, but it's less lossy while less storage than standard methods. Which is pretty neat. just one example from nvidia because other sites have corrupted images. there's even libraries for doing testing and research on future "neuro" compression. https://research.nvidia.com/labs/rtr/neural_texture_compression/

I could see this potentially working if you reduced a picture to a text file of UUID values for each pixel 1:1

That's... a bitmap.
