 Craig Wright is like a generic large language model  that is able to generate an endless amount of sentences that sound reasonable to the untrained layman, but he can't actually apply logic or first principles to what he's saying so there's no substance to it.

The way he's able to construct new stories is incredible. He creates a narrative so complicated that you can't process all the moving parts and he uses Brandolini's law to his advantage.

In these respects, Craig is an expert con man.
