Humans compress images better than algorithms, experiment finds

Your friend texts you a photo of the dog she's about to adopt but all you see is a tan, vaguely animal-shaped haze of pixels.

One click and your screen fills with much more satisfying descriptions and images of her best-friend-to-be.
