The AI-powered DeepNude app made a splash earlier this year as it allowed users to upload photos of a clothed woman in order to see her undressed. The app was taken down by its developers following online outrage, but it has seemingly inspired copycats.
Axar.az re[ports citing the SexTechGuide two new "X-ray vision" apps, DeepNude.to and NudifierApp, have emerged online following the shutdown of the original DeepNudes service, whose algorithm digitally altered images of clothed women, adding eerily realistic-looking breasts and genitalia onto them.
The apps, run absolutely anonymously, are based on a neural network that has been trained on thousands of photos to learn to undress them.
Both services charge users to access their software via cryptocurrencies, and while the NudifierApp says it wants to ensure user privacy by accepting digital coins, the DeepNude to the team says that they have plans to introduce credit card payments as well.
The app had a free version that put a huge watermark on the deep fake images it created, and a paid premium version that produced uncensored photos. Users somehow managed to bypass the mechanism and gained free to access to the premium version.
