Big confusion time on the algorithm name, like many other I was also coming in expecting this to be some sort of visualization of the concept of wave function collapse from quantum physics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function_collapse

This is referring to a Procedural Generation algorithm named the Wave Function Collapse algorithm: https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse

Oh, thanks. I clicked on that and saw a patch of grass and some water and was wondering what the heck that had to do with wave function collapse (in the quantum physics sense). Kind of waited to see if there was some animation, maybe some particles would hit the grass or water or something... but it was static.

Is this related to how generative neural networks work?

Not really
