How could the content be improved?
I think the fact that the 0 pixels are "on" and the 1 pixels are "off" in the 8 image is a bit confusing for learners. I think perhaps the lesson developers chose this because of the way matplotlib chooses the defaults for plotting, starting with the darker color mapped to 0 and the lighter color and mapping to 1. I suggest we consider switching the data 0's and 1's and starting with plotting this in grey scale since it is binary instead of rgb.
