The concept is rather intriguing in terms of having a compression algorithm that evolves towards an ideal optimization asymptote. I, for one, would be annoyed at the thought that the compression of an identical artifact might result in a different compression size output as it would seed doubt as to whether they actually had the same input.

As long as the initial state of the network is fixed, the compressed output will be identical every time.
