The terms "machine learning" and "neural networks" are probably familiar to you, but have you heard of Generative Adversarial Networks, or GAN for short? You may have seen samples of their output: people that don't exist created from thin air. This is, as you can probably tell, VERY COOL, so naturally I wanted to run this software myself and maybe make something useful with it. This is part 1 of my adventures in GAN land.
