Lossily or losslessly?

Losslessly, because that's easier to test.
When you're recalling a memory, do you remember the position of every blade of grass, or the exact angle of the Sun?
Humans, the only extant example of a general intelligence, don't do lossless compression at all.
I don't think you get to AGI by trying to compress noise.
Lossless compression requires the recognition of patterns in the data. And a smart way to use those patterns to perform the actual compression.
