There's also a reason identical twins look alike.

    Don't know why you're being downvoted, it's a good point that shows that genetics is the main factor for your appearance

    Identical twins also share the same womb, so it's not 100% genes.

    Same womb, similar growing environment, etc.

    But even then, they're not perfectly identical. Very similar, but not the exact same.

    Maybe but there is more to the outcome than just genes. Certain ones can be activated of deactivated and that can be done by epigentics for example. Gene expression is a thing.

    The AI would need way more information that just DNA to generate an image of the person.

    But they could probably get 90% the way there with just DNA. I think that was the point.

    No, they couldn't, that's what's being said. If you have a huge state machine with billions of parameters, toggling a different subset can yield wildly different results.

    But there are examples of twins who grew up apart and still look almost identical
