Hello, my name is Denis, and I'm CEO of neural.love: thank you for your feedback, the account needed to deliver you a result, generation could take around 5-20 minutes. If you will close the registration popup your uploaded file will be deleted automatically. However you are correct, it is not as transparent now that we would like to ask user to register - we are in beta currently, and your feedback is important for…

I just uploaded something but I won't create an account. How long until my data is deleted?

48 hours (24 hours is the least we could get with AWS S3, but files could be available several hours after expiration time per their documentation, so we wrote 48 hours to be sure). You can also check other removal times here https://neural.love/terms

Doesn't ask for an account to upload a picture, but as soon as it's done uploading you MUST create an account or you won't even see the final result.

This is a typical dark pattern, that's why you never give these random websites any valuable data.

The examples certainly look cool! I was curious to try it until you asked for an account, which I'm not motivated to do just to try this kind of toy service, sorry.

I have a separate browser instance with a trash google account for these cases.

"Created 34 minutes ago Waiting in a queue… You will get an email upon portrait generation." Not sure if this is legit or just a way to collect data. I find it odd that it has been 34 minutes and my image is still in queue.

Well my image is still not processed it its now 3 hours later...

Hey! This is Denis, the CEO of neural.love. Thanks for all the great feedback on our portrait generator (still in beta). I wanted to clarify a few points that were raised previously:

1) processing time - we’re currently experiencing heavy demand so it make take longer than the usual 5-20 minutes to generate your portrait, but it should arrive in less than 5 hours (let us know at support@neural.love if it doesn’t)

2) data - any data you upload will be deleted within 48 hours (usually within 24) per our privacy policy, which you can read here: https://neural.love/terms

3) email registration - per GDPR rules, we have to ask permission before we can send you anything, hence the registration portal.

Based on your previous feedback, we’re constantly trying to improve our tranparency and communication along with our product, so thanks again for all you feedback, and please feel free to contact us directly at we@neural.love or send me a DM at denis@neural.love

I'm seeing all kinds of negative feedback here but wasn't my case. (some people saying that it's created to steal your photos which is a bit absurd).

Sure enough, it asked me to create an account which is understandable, I don't complain. I have a multitude of Google accounts and I used one of them.

I waited for around 10-15 minutes and I used a photo of a statue of Caesar. The results were very, very impressive. https://imgur.com/WOeOYR3

Awesome job OP. There must be some amazing tech at work!
