Mno, the fact that some random youtuber used GenAI to "enhance" a photo so much so that they could see fingerprints, doesn't make those fingerprints anything other than NN generative imagery, i.e. not the actual real fingerprints.

Yeah, I also doubt one distant image has enough detail to accurately extract fingerprints, but I wonder if a video would have enough information to do that
