Microsoft is adding AI facial recognition to OneDrive and users can only turn it off three times a year

I watched up to the point where the author explains how Microsoft tends to turn on all the privacy invading settings every time they push an update (not surprising). I guess if I had to use Microsoft products, I'd try to disable automatic updates and just do them twice a year in one go, while also turning off the settings I want off. Would it be practically feasible? I don't know. Having to go to those lengths to use some software just seems ridiculous.

What is the current state of facial recognition or other morphological detections?
Curious to know if we have a current morphometric based system that can detect with the same accuracy as DNA testing, if two people are related, without a priori knowledge that they are related,...
Curious to know if we have a current morphometric based system that can detect with the same accuracy as DNA testing, if two people are related, without a priori knowledge that they are related, if that makes sense.
Meaning, if a system is fed 100 random photos of humans, but is not told "there are definitely related people in here" can it match it as accurately as a DNA test of those same humans' DNA samples?
context
I was wondering to myself, "you know, for as dissimilar as our DNA is to our siblings, it's actually quite remarkable that we look so similar." Which lead me to wondering, do we look similar to our siblings, or are our brains so deeply primed to think we look similar to those who are related to us, that we do indeed "look similar," to our brains(or simulations produced by our brains). If that makes sense.
