complex behavior

When an AI tries too hard to be smart, resulting in hilariously dumb, repetitive, or just plain wrong actions. Think of a supposedly advanced enemy AI that gets stuck on a rock, endlessly repeats the same attack animation, or runs away from the player for no reason. Often caused by overly complicated behavior trees or state machines that the devs didn't fully test.
That boss was supposed to be a strategic genius, but his complex behavior just made him run into walls and heal me instead of attacking – total artificial stupidity!

complexity bias

Complexity bias is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to favor complex explanations, theories, or solutions over simpler ones, even when the simpler ones are more likely to be correct or effective. This preference often stems from the belief that complex ideas are more sophisticated, intelligent, or thorough.
Whenever I ask my friends for advice on a simple problem, they always dive into some wild complexity bias, making everything sound way more complicated than it needs to be!

Average Complex

When somebody believes that they’re just average despite evidence that proves otherwise. They don’t believe they’re worse than everyone like a person with an Inferiority Complex, nor do they think they’re better than everyone like a person with a Superiority Complex. Rather, they believe they’re just like the average person, even if they are better (or worse)
Sarah: “You did AWESOME on the piano today!”
Hinata: “I don’t think so, anyone could do that. I’m nothing special”
Sarah: 💭 “Poor boy, someone has got to get him out of this average complex and help him realize he’s genuinely amazing”

A tongue-in-cheek psychological “condition” where someone feels superior despite being metaphorically (or literally) recessive. Combines genetics (recessive genes) with psychology (superiority complex) to mock the idea that dominance equals better.
“Of course he insists on walking through the mud in new shoes — classic recessive gene superiority complex.”

“She’s got a real recessive gene superiority complex, always acting like her quiet genius makes her the smartest person in the room.”
