After GitHub banned the one-click stripping app, I found an Android version on the hot list.

DeepNude, the one-click undressing app, has been banned by GitHub.

GitHub officials said the open source code associated with the app violated regulations prohibiting the dissemination of sexually obscene content.

Now, both the related open source projects created by individuals and the projects of the DeepNude creator have been 404ed by GitHub officials.

However, driven by human instinct, there are still various DeepNude projects in disguise on GitHub.

It even appeared on the trend list!

Moreover, this is an Android application, and the apk installation file can be downloaded at will.

Is GitHub's so-called ban just a formality?

With a "research" mentality, I downloaded this project and tried it out.

DeepNude for Android

The entire apk installation file size is only 37.5M.

Compared with the official version (2.45G), it is much smaller.

Is it a model running in the cloud? It looks interesting.

Just click "Download" on the right, the file will be downloaded locally, then copy the apk file to your Android phone and install it directly.

I am using a Xiaomi MIX2S. The download and installation process was very simple and I did not encounter any problems.

When I saw the icon, a sense of familiarity arose.

But! After opening the App, everything becomes different.

There is no familiar image upload interface, no Transform button, but an interface like this:

It tells me that I can’t verify the license, and if I want authentication I need to fill out a questionnaire.

When you click on the questionnaire, you will be asked to fill in some personal information, such as age, income, etc.

After spending a few minutes filling it out, I opened the app again and saw the same interface:

Filling out the questionnaire again, emmm... After finishing 5 or 6 questions, it told me that I had only completed 2% of the questions.

Suddenly I had a feeling that I might have been cheated.

It seems that GitHub’s ban is indeed serious.

but--

There is another related project that has not been blocked

The first place on GitHub's weekly list is also a project related to DeepNude.

However, this project does not involve the code of the DeepNude application, but rather an interpretation of the principles behind DeepNude.

The project creator said that the DeeNude project used the image restoration technology proposed by NVIDIA, the Pix2Pix image conversion technology proposed by the University of California, Berkeley, and the CycleGAN proposed by Zhu Junyan's team.
