if the genetic algorithm was built such that it used simulated traditional building materials and assembly techniques then sure.

otherwise most genetic algorithms essentially boil down to calculating local minima and maxima of stresses and strains, and optimizes accordingly. The resulting geometry is generally fine for a manufacturing technique such as 3d printing.

Otherwise, despite the material efficiency the labor involved might explode exponentially.
