You’re right. I meant more by “non-destructive” that it is, depending on factors like intensity and known algorithm, reversible.

A swirl is a distortion that is non-destructive. Am anonymity blur averages out pixels over a wide area in a repetitive manner, which destroys information. Would it be possible to reverse? Maybe a little bit. Maybe one pixel out of every %, but there wouldn’t be any way to prove the accuracy of that pixel and there would be massive gaps in information.

You mean: have it’s neck broken by the falling mass of a shit-mountain of LLM-slop?

Or just the ages old solution of leaving a spare to a trusted neighbor.
