Comment on Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression rates

So if I have two machines running the same local LLM and I pass a prompt between them, I’ve achieved data compression by transmitting the prompt rather than the LLM’s expected response to the prompt? That’s what I’m understanding from the article.
Neat idea, but what if you want to transmit some information that an LLM can’t generate accurately?

And how do I get the prompt that will reliably generate the data from the data? Usually for compression we do not start from an already compressed version.
