DeepNude app has shut down

A controversial mobile app which uses neural networks to create fake nude pictures of women has shut down shortly after gaining widespread public attention.

The app, named DeepNude, generates realistic-looking nude images of women by using any picture as input and running the image through its AI algorithm.
 
Well it's fake anyway so...
 
Having the apk is pointless if the severs have shut down

“Surely some copies of DeepNude will be shared on the web, but we don’t want to be the ones who sell it.”

The developer stated that downloading the software from other sources or sharing it would violate the terms of the DeepNude website.

“The world is not yet ready for DeepNude,” the developer said.

And in fact, never will be, as long as some sort of intelligence remains in society. The reality is that I can't believe this moron spent the time and effort to develop this junk, only to eventually realise how bad it could be.
 
Scratched around earlier for interest sake and found both a Linux and Windows version of the base app. It requires a couple of lib files, or a bundled version of about 2gb.

The sources look quite dodgy, so I'm giving it a skip as you never know if it's been tampered with.

Those interested can dig around for:

DeepNude_Windows_v2.0.0.zip
cm.lib
mm.lib
mn.lib
deepnudecracked_win.part1.rar and deepnudecracked_win.part2.rar

Comments mention that the picture quality is very poor and the app crashes all the time, so I don't think it's worth much in the current state.

Wonder how accurate it was.

I saw some examples on a random news site someone on Reddit linked to. Those examples wouldn't fool anyone imo. Very fuzzy/airbrushed around the generated bits.
 
Guess it's time to set up a vm and see what interesting things are bundled with the 2gb file.

Why? People should relax about nudity.

Nudity is great. But would you like a fake photo for your 16 year old daughter doing the rounds ? There are some technolgies that are just not needed. If you want nudity and porn, cool - get it on pirate bay, of people who were quite happy to be paid to be filmed and photographed.
