Yeah, I’ve seen those ads too, usually in weird corners of the internet, and they always make me do a double take. From a tech point of view, I think it’s partially real, but not in the way they market it. Most of these tools aren’t actually revealing what’s underneath clothing—they’re just generating a new image based on an algorithm’s “best guess” of what a body could look like under clothes. That’s very different from uncovering a hidden layer. It’s like digital imagination, not X-ray vision. They’re basically using trained models and image synthesis to overlay generated textures. It’s sort of like those apps that can make people smile or age 20 years—just a guess, not reality. The result may look convincing, but it’s pure fabrication, stitched together from a database of training data. Some results can be shockingly realistic, though, which is why it’s such a grey area.

I dug into this a while ago out of curiosity, not for any shady reason, but because I’m interested in the ethical lines AI is crossing lately. Technically speaking, yeah, this kind of image manipulation https://undress.app/ai-clothes-eraser is possible, but it’s incredibly unreliable and mostly fake. These apps use something like GANs—generative adversarial networks—that try to produce a “plausible” version of a body based on a clothed image, but it’s not based on the actual person. The crazy part is some people think it’s real when it’s just a totally made-up rendering. Also, the stuff these tools produce often looks janky or cartoonish unless it’s a generic pose or lighting. Most of the time it’s done with pre-trained data that’s very limited, so if the image doesn’t match what the model has seen, the output looks really off. It’s kind of like asking an AI to paint what’s behind a wall in a photo—it’ll try, but it’s just making something up.
