A website is digitally removing clothing from non-nude photos to create nonconsensual pornographic deepfakes. Researchers say its output is “hyper-realistic”.
that generates “nude” images of women using artificial intelligence is spreading its murky tentacles across the web—spawning look-alike services through partner agreements and recruiting new users through a referral system. The expansion efforts have allowed the service to proliferate despite bans placed on its payment infrastructure.
In recent months the website has expanded its services, earning its creator potentially thousands of dollars. The website has made its algorithms available to “partners” through access to its APIs; and two spin-off websites have been created by other people. The original website has been previously reported on, but the extent of its partner programs has not.
This approach does seem to have helped the website avoid being taken offline. According to data from digital intelligence platform Similarweb, the site had more than 50 million visits between January and the end of October this year, making it the biggest of its kind. “Hundreds of thousands” of images have been uploaded on a single day, the creator has claimed on the website. Its audience peaked in August with 6.92 million views, according to SimilarWeb’s data.
Recruiting partners is not the only way the website has sustained itself. Hundreds of links for the website’s referral program—where people receive free image-generation tokens every time someone clicks—are also being shared on Twitter, YouTube, Telegram, and specialized pornographic deepfake forums.
