The basic idea behind the researchers' data compression algorithm is that if an LLM knows what a user will be writing, it does not need to transmit any data, but can simply generate what the user wants them to transmit on the other end

Great... but if that’s the case, maybe the user should reconsider the usefulness of transmitting that data in the first place.
