    I also like the idea of incremental loading, even if it's not that relevant anymore. Also, I don't think your example of generation loss is enough as it's just one image, I would like to see multiple randomly picked images passed through the same process but if the results are the same as here or barely anymore loss than the best option for any given image I do think that's a good result to aim for.
