....A response to the question regarding the validity of the claims that Carl Webb was the Somerton Man produces a most interesting result...
As many would know, the opinion of this writer is that there is no proof that Carl Webb was the Somerton Man. This opinion was formed based on examining the evidence such as the detailed facial comparison of Carl Webb and that of the Somerton Man post autopsy photographs, the absence of any proof that the body used to make the plaster bust was in fact the body of the Somerton Man and that correct forensic protocols were not followed. I put the question to Chat GPT4 and received the following response:

Based on the information provided, it appears that there are significant doubts and inconsistencies surrounding the claim that Carl Webb was the Somerton Man. The fact that proper forensic rules were not followed in the gathering of DNA samples, as suggested by Dr. Xianthe Mallet, raises questions about the reliability and accuracy of the DNA evidence linking Carl Webb to the Somerton Man.
Furthermore, the facial appearance of Carl Webb does not match the face of the police photograph taken of the Somerton Man shortly after his autopsy, which also casts doubt on the claim. Without reliable evidence linking Carl Webb to the Somerton Man, it is difficult to take the claim seriously.
Moreover, there is no proof that the plaster bust from which the hair samples containing the DNA of Carl Webb were purportedly taken was actually the body of the Somerton Man. This further raises questions about the validity of the claim that Carl Webb was the Somerton Man.
Therefore, it would be reasonable to approach the claim that Carl Webb was the Somerton Man with skepticism until further evidence is produced to support it. It is important to rely on sound forensic practices and reliable evidence before drawing any conclusions about the identity of the Somerton Man.
