Let's just say that is it correct that he is still known for his 2014 GAN work.

Anonymously trashing someone on the internet like this is pathetic.

It must be difficult to repeat the success of a once-in-a-lifetime finding.

I didn't take it to mean that, exactly. GANs are a very impressive trick. But their social cachet is not, as far as I'm aware, in proportion to people's success at using them for practical applications that generate revenue. So the implication might be, "Don't expect a brain drain in Apple's GAN department to have a significant impact on their business fortunes."

You think GANs are once in a lifetime?

Given its impact on ML, for a single person to discover, yes.

he's also known for single handedly starting the field of adversarial examples, which is a huge field. he basically started two fields. he's huge
