“GANs can create images that look like photographs of human faces, even though the faces don’t belong to any real person,” Nvidia explains. “GANs achieve this level of realism by pairing a generator, which learns to produce the target output, with a discriminator, which learns to distinguish true data from the output of the generator. The generator tries to fool the discriminator, and the discriminator tries to keep from being fooled”.
We first saw GameGAN revealed by Nvidia last year around this time, it gave us a look into a clone of a fully functional game of Pac-Man and since has been used to create this impressive version of GTA 5.
