AI is never gonna give this up.
What happens if you rickroll a neural net too many times.

What happens when rickrolled during a fever.

I've been reading some good sci-fi by Vernor Vinge recently
and he had this idea of long distance communications systems using with only tiny amounts of very lossy bandwidth, and processors piecing together the tiny fragments of information received and attempting to fill in the blanks based on databases of prior information to fully render a good approximation of the original. Messages communicated at only a few bits per second can have their general gist recreated in full HD with close to 99% accuracy with a smart enough algorithm, if it has access to enough secondary information about the context of the message.
These sorts of neural network applications are the start of the journey to that level of signal processing technology.
Edit: if you like some good hard(ish) sci-fi try Vernor Vinge's Zones of Thought books. A Fire Upon The Deep is the first one and it is thoroughly excellent.

Sounds like plain text email might be a better solution to that problem.

Well, I think the deal is that those bits are basically
close to just plain text at such low bandwidth, but the algorithms essentially take that text and using knowledge of the sender's voice and appearance, clothing style, military rank etc, and previous messages with higher bandwidth, and extrapolate full motion video from that.

So 1% or more of everything will be wrongly completed.
Not sure that would be of much use to anyone.

The 1% is usually stuff like incorrect details on rendered clothing,
or slightly incorrect facial expressions, and only rarely does it actually affect the meaning of the message. Plus the reconstructed message is presented along with a real time measurement of the algorithms' confidence.
These are messages being transmitted over many thousands of light years, so bandwidth is necessarily somewhat variable. It makes for good plot devices, whereby the recipients have to decide whether the messages they have got are just garbage, if they're genuine, or perhaps if their ships comms processors have been corrupted by a malevolent entity which is showing them the messages it wants them to see.

So there's hope for rural broadband then.

Yes.
Except the algorithm is going to fill in the blanks with 19th century agricultural types.

Yep love his stuff...
lots of original and expansive ideas well thought out, but also he knows how to get a yarn about adventure rolling along at a satisfying pace.

Send three and fourpence, we are going to a dance
'Send reinforcements we are going to advance'
This is pretty much what all battlefield comms is like.I once threw a Clansman set down a ravine in a rage. We agreed that it was an act of god/battle damage
