> No semblance of the original image even remotely exists in the model
What does this mean? It doesn't mean you can't recreate the original, because that's been done. It doesn't mean that literally the bits for the image aren't present in the encoded data, because that's true for any compression algorithm.

Do you have any examples of recreating an image with these models? Something other than Mona lisa or other famous artworks because they have caused over fitting.
