Agreed. I imagine this has applications in compression as well. You could stream a movie (or a football game) in black and white and enable each device to color it on the spot. A similar technique could also be done for HD/3D/VR.

Or you can just broadcast the audio from the game and a neural net will synthesize the video on the fly. The possibilities are _endless_!

Coloring football uniforms might be nearly impossible though...

Yes, you provide a handful of full data keyframes and reconstruct the details of the stream from the middle out.

That middle out compression has some fantastic Weissman scores I believe.
