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.

I really have a problem with this, as it even uploads the photo first and only THEN asks you to sign up. That means you can't even delete the photo without giving them more data. It's just "safe and secure in the Amazon cloud" forever.

  All unprocessed files we removing automatically, they are stored securely, no need to worry. We will think about how to make the registration form better, thank you for your feedback

Yes they got me as well. Why would I create an account for this?

Exactly why I feed sites like this a generic stock photo. I want to play with the toy, but you aren't getting my data.

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 us, we will think how to improve the registration form in terms of transparency.

  Denis, first of all: really cool product! It’s also fair to ask for registration in order to prevent abuse / record consent for terms and privacy. However, it would be best if you asked that before uploading the photo. Many people seem frustrated that their data was processed and now they must create an account to see the result/delete the data. Once again, it looks great, it’s just an expectation/transparency issue :) Edit: If it’s ok for you to disclose this, what kind of infra are you running on? Just curious.

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