Ask HN: What's New in GANs?

I remember about 7 years ago, generative adversarial networks were the next big thing in ML. Then transformers came along, which from my outside perspective seem to have siphoned off a large chunk of research effort from across the field. Are GANs still an area of significant research and real-world use these days? I always thought the underlying idea was beautiful in its simplicity.
