Official DeepNude Algorithm

What this project ignores is that there is a LONG list of people I’d rather see with MORE clothes. Take Kim Kardashian for instance, every time I see her I’m like man wish she was wearing rain boots, a wind breaker, and a trench coat, a parka, a scarf, gloves, a sombrero, sunglasses, hockey mask, basically throw the entire Bass Pro Shop winter catalog at her and give my delicate eyes a break.
It could be used as a replacement for stunt doubles. The nude scenes in Game of Throne was not always liked by the acters, and the walk of shame actually used a nude stunt double for some of it (https://ew.com/article/2015/06/18/game-thrones-lena-headey-n...). Deepfake and DeepNude could also replace stun doubles where the scene is too dangerous thus improving safety.
It could be used to create a better base model in animation so that clothing can be added more realistic on top, which could be useful when making remakes/remaster of old movies.
In gaming it could also be used as a faster/better method to create realistic bodies, improving immersion and graphic representation. Nude mods has always been rather popular in RPG's.
In theory we could also see similar algorithms in security to get an estimate body shape in relation to clothing in order to detect hidden weapons.
Id argue that billions of people have more enjoyable lives because of porn.
That’s not to dismiss the potential for misuse.

"Previously people lived in fear of previous pornographic acts living on online after they'd moved on - now it's "probably just another of those millions of deep-fakes""
However, I think the consent of the participants is a bare minimum for acceptability, and this seems to violate that directly.
I was answering that question you posed. It's not just for harassment. It's mostly for porn.
First person who creates the Chrome plugin that will nudify all photos will be a millionaire.
What does it mean???
From Wikipedia: “X-Ray Specs are an American novelty item, purported to allow the user to see through or into solid objects. In reality the glasses merely create an optical illusion; no X-rays are involved. The current paper version is sold under the name "X-Ray Spex"; a similar product is sold under the name "X-Ray Gogs".”
“X-Ray Specs consist of an outsized pair of glasses with plastic frames and white cardboard "lenses" printed with concentric red circles, and emblazoned with the legend "X-RAY VISION".
“The "lenses" consist of two layers of cardboard with a small hole about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) in diameter punched through both layers. The user views objects through the holes. A feather is embedded between the layers of each lens. The vanes of the feathers are so close together that light is diffracted, causing the user to receive two slightly offset images. For instance, if viewing a pencil, one would see two offset images of the pencil. Where the images overlap, a darker image is obtained, supposedly giving the illusion that one is seeing the graphite embedded within the body of the pencil. As may be imagined, the illusion is not particularly convincing.
“X-Ray Specs were long advertised with the slogan "See the bones in your hand, see through clothes!" Some versions of the advertisement featured an illustration of a young man using the X-Ray Specs to examine the bones in his hand while a voluptuous woman stood in the background, as though awaiting her turn to be "X-rayed".

(2) I'm not calling for government censorship, just saying that GitHub (and by extension Microsoft) shouldn't be giving these people a platform.
It suggests that creating porn of people is not always objectionable.
I asked you to expand on your comment, that is all.
If the idea is that this codebase could be used for less ethically questionable purposes, then why was it put on GitHub in its original form, which is clearly designed for producing nudes?
This is for harassment. Other potential uses are invented by people to try and provide cover for its obvious target use.
Yeah, though removing it from github won't make things better. Some kid would find the code anyway and distribute the app to jailbroken phones. That's why people need to be aware of this app - because if it's not the harassment will be worse.
If you really put yourself in the shoes of a victim I believe you’d feel differently.
However, someone could use the variables of the autoencoder in such a thing to slide between different clothing styles until they find one they like in particular. Then have those clothes made / printed. Voila, haute couture goes AI
