I would assume the author of that comment was using "grey" to describe an opinion that is more nuanced and carefully considered. A black/white opinion would be hyperbolic or simply expressed to provoke reaction. So if that&#x

Great article! Thanks for the writeup, resources and introducing me to Helena Sarin. I've been wanting to get into GANs but I've really been turned off by the samey-ness of the work I've been seeing. I'm afraid I'd

Thanks! And yes, having this work like an actual guitar would have been a nightmare. Plus, people were just MURDERING those strings. It would have been impossible to keep it in tune. Plus, there's no way you could actually fret a chord
