Both, in effect, appear to 'strip' victims of what they're wearing in their pictures.ĭeepNude was a website offering Windows and Linux apps that required some level of technical savvy to operate. Like the Telegram bot, DeepNude used artificial intelligence to automatically generate nonconsensual sexual images of women in photos, replacing their photographed clothing with nudity.

If this bot on Telegram sounds disturbingly familiar, a similar technology called DeepNude leaped to prominence last year, only to become so popular in a single day, after it was exposed in a news article, that its programmer shut it down. The term deepfake is used most often with videos, but deepfakes can refer to any so-called 'synthetic' media produced by deep machine learning, including pornographic still photos. Using a kind of artificial intelligence known as neural networks, deepfake tech can generate media forgeries that make people appear to be doing or saying things they never did.

Deepfake technology is like a high-speed Photoshop conveyor belt on steroids.
