There is a 1-1 correspondence between data compression and generative models. GPT-2 is a highly effective loseless data compression tool: https://bellard.org/textsynth/sms.html

Always wondered why this insight is not taught as much, especially in the context of things like dimensionality reduction...

The Hutter prize for improved compression algorithms is explicitly about the relationship between compression and intelligence. http://prize.hutter1.net/
