> If an ai can reconstruct a view of the far side of something from data like the near side view and the shadows & other effects on the surrounding environment, then it can do the same thing to reconstruct a view of what's underneath clothing

This is actually not something that people want. The body within clothes is generally constrained by them in ways that look odd if you can't see the clothes; what people really want is to see what someone would look like if they were naked, not what they would look like if their clothes were invisible.

Well, with the right training data I imagine you could make something that produce an imaginary model of what the person might look like naked in the same pose but unconstrained by clothing. Obviously though, like the system in the link, for everything it can't see it's just constructing it based on what it's been trained with.

Would be super creepy though.

You're not thinking evil enough. Provide app for free, then use face recognition to allow people to pay to look better naked through the app.

I would assume the main use would be to see people you know, not to enhance yourself, but, I guess there would be a market for that too. Especially for content producers.
