The term refers to applications, typically software-based, that claim to remove clothing from images through the use of artificial intelligence. These applications propose to alter digital photographs or other visual content to reveal the underlying human form. As an example, an individual might attempt to use such an application on an image of a person fully clothed, hoping to generate an altered image where the individual appears unclothed.
The advent of sophisticated image manipulation tools and the proliferation of AI technologies have made such applications technically feasible, though often with varying degrees of accuracy and realism. The emergence of this technology carries potential legal and ethical implications, including concerns about privacy violations, non-consensual image manipulation, and the potential for misuse in creating explicit content without authorization. The historical context involves a long trajectory of image manipulation technologies, culminating in the current era of AI-driven content generation.
