[–] x00z@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (15 children) Aren't all humans 99.9% similar already? If 93% is enough you could just take any ape at that point. permalink fedilink source hideshow 15 child comments replies: [–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (7 children) That's DNA, not facial structure permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] x00z@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (6 children) Yes that was the joke permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (5 children) That was a joke? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago Sick burn permalink fedilink source parent [–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (3 children) Yes. You take something out of context to make it look stupid. A 93% DNA match is extremely stupid, just like a 93% AI facial match. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] fartographer@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (2 children) You take something out of context to make it look stupid TIL that I'm a joke permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] x00z@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) No. I fully support fartographers and consider them a staple of our society. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago TIL I'm also a staple.

We can measure relative similarity, though—but that scale will vary depending on what it’s relative to. We could measure genetic similarity relative to a typical unrelated person, or relative to the nearest non-human animal, or relative to the most distantly-related living organism, or relative to random noise. (And you can do the same for facial similarity.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (2 children) Yeah I wonder what a 0% match looks like. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 child) Mark Zuckerberg, probably. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago I was going to show a photo of my twin but that example works too permalink fedilink source parent [–] its_prolly_fine@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago Humans do have really low genetic diversity compared to most other organisms.
