Description
There is the following issue on this page: https://docs.pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/char_rnn_generation_tutorial.html
I might be missing something, but in the code on this tutorial, there is no nonlinearity in the recurring part of the RNN, degrading all of the internal updates to a single linear function.

Research direction
Open the linked character-level RNN tutorial and trace the recurrent update described in the issue. Compare the tutorial's implementation with the intended RNN behavior and determine whether the missing nonlinearity is an error. Done means the tutorial's code and explanation accurately represent the corrected recurrent computation, with the tutorial still runnable end to end.
