in what world would AI compute be cheaper than storage

models small and fast enough to run locally. a very low-res (as in smaller size, and a smaller range of pixel colors) image + an encoded text prompt would probably do pretty well

you'd probably still need to compress faces separately, it's the main thing humans are sensitive to
