> it's not very obvious what aspects of the image you're seeing are real, and what aspects were dreamed up by the system doing the extrapolating.

It would be quite obvious unless the raw data before extrapolating is destroyed, for which there are no reason nor is it possible to stop others in the vincinity from receiving this raw data.

That assumes that the "raw data" is reasonably human-comprehensible (which neural network weights and activations are notoriously not) and/or that you have time to sit down and analyze the data at your leisure.

But saying more would be spoilery...

For that to be true the compression algorithm mustn’t be very efficient.
