wondering how accurate the extrapolated distances are? Like the Rhino and the tree -- I wonder if the approximation could be useful in something like forensics from a security video?

No. It's just some plausible thing the AI made up. It's literally like asking an LLM to generate evidence of a crime based on the prompt you presented.

There are plenty of cool use cases, just not forensics.

Used properly I could imagine legitimate forensics uses to 3d reconstruction and splatting. For example as a "map" to find what underlying data (e.g. video frames) captured the thing.
