My first thought as a biologist is you may get a general template with certain traits like eye, hair and skin tone more easily identifiable than bone or muscle density underlying the facial features. I am super interested in this question now that I see it. Based on my hobby use of gpt-3 it seems possible to train it on the genetic data available on ncbi.

A persons immune system is dictated by a system of genes called the HLA or human leukocyte antigen genes. So a persons ability to have tissue transplanted to another person could be predicted by these algorithms with some training I would bet. Maybe a big registry of possible donors and possible recipients could be created but then that brings up the ethical side of things with patient data and the 5 patient problem.

On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. He really hit a home run there. It is a bit dry and maybe not fully on-theme with this post but I absolutely adore this book and will never stop shamelessly promoting it. For any who haven’t read and are interested it is a very dry collection of factoids that led Darwin to believe in the concept of ‘descent with modification’ to describe the various plants and animals he observed in his wide and glorious travels. His father Erasmus probably influenced him heavily.
