320 bits is basically a hash. Small enough to go on chain for every user.

AI as lossy compression. With a big model you might be able to do quite a lot with a few bits.

You could maybe stack this on top of ZK for extreme levels of onchain compression and offchain reconstruction.

Sounds like asking AI to 'fill in the blanks for me'. Interesting use case indeed. Maybe Ethereum will not need to charge such high state rent in future?
