You are going to need to explain yourself in more details. > Compression is not intelligence Just saying this doesn't make it so. It's widely accepted that compression and intelligence have a close relationship. I think this summary of Marcus Hutter's work provides some background: https://www.antoinebuteau.com/lessons-from-marcus-hutter/
> algorithmic information theory, arguing that general intelligence is mathematically equivalent to data compression and sequence prediction Then let it be said “algorithmic intelligence” for true “general” intelligence is not constrained by sequence or brevity. There is indirection, substitution, and other variabilities to the chaotic circumstances of real world (“general”) problem solving. All forms of intelligence…
Lossy compression is a form of generalization which handles this exact thing.
