So classy, right? How did this happen? A couple of steps:
1. OpenAI trained a new neural net called Jukebox

I’m not sure what was more unsettling: my recent failed attempt to train a
neural net called StyleGAN2 to generate screenshots from The Great British
Bakeoff

The other day someone told me about a program

to match a text description. I’m always excited to test out algorithms like this
because the task of “draw anything a human asks for” is so hard that even

Recently I had my first-ever experiment with training a neural net to generate
images, when I trained StyleGAN2 to generate screenshots from The Great British
