So it actually affects the quality of the image. Well, that sucks.

What would be the alternative? If you would store more information without affecting image quality, then compression would remove this information again while retaining the image quality. You will _have_ to alter the 'visible' image to store information.
Yeah I get that anything short of an alteration of the entire surface of the image is reversible. Still, the fact that it is visible sucks.
a model trained specifically for this would not have accuracy loss ~99% identical if I had to guess I got to around 85%.
