Forensic reconstruction is an art not a science. So you took an inaccurate concept (forensic reconstruction) and executed it with an inaccurate tool (LLM). And produced an image for funsky. Is trump Dead? Hopefully. Is it a body double? Who knows I wasn't there. But this exercise ain't it.

That does not change the fact that you used faulty tech with a faulty premise. You cannot ADD fidelity to a digital image. You will always be introducing data that DOES NOT EXIST into the image. You used a faulty tech on top of a bad premise and created a hallucinations. "unblur" does not exist.
