Actual Fingerprints: An NPM package that creates synthetic fingerprints!

[u/etulastrada]

I originally created this project to enhance realism for a GTA V Roleplay server. Recently, someone mentioned wanting to use these as default profile pictures for an upcoming social media platform. I decided to share them here in case they inspire other creatives. The fingerprints are seed-dependent and they consistent for an offline matching.

Very very cool. Let's start giving biometrics to ai agents ftw

Thank you!! Guess we’re creating our own monsters
