Where can I find out about the “Helvetica scenario”?












1












$begingroup$


From the paper introducing GANs:



A paragraph mentioning the Helvetica scenario



It makes sense that collapsing too many $vec{z}$-values to a single $vec{x}$-value will cause problems. However, I was a bit confused as to how training $G$ for a shorter amount of time before running $D$ can fix it. But when I googled "Helvetica scenario", all I could find were references to a parody show called Look Around You.



Since it seems like this is an actual thing, not just a parody—where can I find out more about it, and how it can be prevented? And why is it called "the Helvetica scenario"?
