Are "Brilliant moves" in computer analysis just any decent sacrifice now?

I agree that the last position you give us is ridiculous. White needs to play Bd4 in that position but can first play RxR+ and then the Q check. It doesn't matter which way round and white is completely won in any case. It's total nonsense. The engine calculated that positionally, white is about half a pawn better after the pseudo-sacrifice than by playing the rook swap. (The reason for playing Bd4 is that the B could be trapped out of the game.)

It's a known fact that the programming here isn't great. Apparently they can't afford high class programmers. Such a shame.

I was white and chess.com classified 18. Nxe5 as brilliant.

True, if a sacrifice is the engine's primary choice its brilliant

Apparently a move being considered brilliant or not here depends on the rating of the player.
For a very low rated player all moves that do not hang material would be brilliant here.

You know those countless back track mate puzzles where you check with the Queen, the Queen gets captured by a rook, then you recapture with a rook with mate? The Queen sacrifice is brilliant.
