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.
