Obviously it's not a perfect match, but it's going to be wildly better than a sketch artist's attempt at a usable drawing.
- heavyset_go 6y agoThis assumes that the company is able to produce an accurate image that's on par with a photo of the subject's twin, when it's entirely possible that the images the company produces are no more accurate than noise.
- liability 6y agoOh for sure, I fully agree. However, is this company's tech actually that good? It would be interesting to see how well it does with the DNA of real twins; how close can they actually get compared to two people with the same DNA? Could it make a face that really looks like their triplet? Unfortunately the article doesn't have any comparison images of any sort, so it's hard to evaluate. But the skeptical/cynical part of me suspects the article would contain such comparisons if it worked well.
