This is a cool idea in theory and I think could be useful in certain kinds of circumstances, but this particular instantiation would likely go into a bad bias spiral.

This is somewhat similar to how GANs try to learn the density of the underlying data, but here you do not have the underlying data as a reference, if that makes sense. It's sort of like filling a mattress with helium instead of air. Sure, the mattress will be lighter, but that does not mean you will float on it, if that makes any sense at all.

Hope that helps as a cogent answer to this question.
