Complexity Cliff (in GenAI)
noun: A critical threshold in generative AI where reasoning models (e.g., Claude, DeepSeek-R1) collapse under high-complexity tasks, shifting from accurate problem-solving to complete failure, as coined by Sadagopan S of HCLTech in June 2025.
"Our GenAI tool/model hit the complexity cliff when it couldn’t handle the multi-variable forecast—time to blend in human oversight!"
The purposeful complication of a process, policy, or offer in order to substantially reduce clarity, usually in hope that consumers of such will overlook a portion to their detriment.

A insecurity complex that manifests itself as arrogance, abrasive, cocky and pompous behavior.
I honestly believe that he acts so abrasivly arrogant in order to compensate for how short he is. Everyone knows a man who is so insecure about his height or himself in general comes across that way. For sure, this guy has a porcupine complex by using his harsh, pompous and cocky characteristics as his shield of armor.
