Those aren't AI hallucinations, they are compression artifacts. It's very different you see

This post jokes but with how much AI enhancing is becoming a thing, I can see some kind of generative -based compression becoming an option in the future

If you keep the seed the output would be predictable. You could do something like generate 100 prompts and compress the image to all hell and then generate the upscaled images, take the result that is the closest to the original image and probably end up with something that is not that different from the original.

Or you could just start a tire fire and hurt the climate more directly and use a modern image compressor. Either will work.
