gollark: I should really see if it has a dark theme or not.
gollark: Hi.
gollark: I agree with actual Arduino boards being rather underpowered and suboptimal given newer alternatives, but being able to stick a microcontroller in and do much of your project's logic in software is easier and more flexible than having dedicated hardware.
gollark: You have a bunch of samples of a thing you want, and two neural networks; one is trained to distinguish real ones from ones the other generates, the other is trained to be able to generate fake ones the other one can't distinguish from real.
gollark: This is just the idea of "generative adversarial networks" in general.
