That’s hardly accurate. Deep learning among other things is another type of lossy compression algorithm.

It doesn’t have a 1:1 mapping of each bit of information it’s been trained with, but you can very much extract a subset of that data. Which is why it’s easy to get DallE to recreate the Mona Lisa, variations on that image show up repeatedly in its training courpus.
