I think that a brilliant move is rather really hard and not expected but good move. Sometimes it can just be a simply good move.
Are "Brilliant moves" in computer analysis just any decent sacrifice now?

In my understanding it has less to do with feelings and more that the computer factors in a prior material deficit to it's weight in the moves, especially considering the impact offering material seems to play. I didn't write the code though so I could be entirely wrong here.
i finally got one after a lot of games, was pretty proud of it then read about everyone saying it is not correct and all lol

dxc4 closes the get-away square(d3) for the 
and creates a checkmate threat on f2 square, but not the engine says that dxc4 is the best move instead Brilliant!!
white to move, 
h3 defending f2, and if we plays cxb3 capturing the
they plays 
g5(trapping the 
).
also after playing g5, Stockfish laughed at me and played xg4. After I play fxg4 he skewerd me with xg4+ and took the queen.

hey, why isn't it brilliant?
👀👀👀👀👀
i think the brilliant move is a 5% chance of getting it maybe?
I got one on my first game on this account.

I've recently seen a spike in the amount of brilliant moves I've done, so I now have a good bit. I think brilliant moves have gotten easier to obtain, which is what I've noticed some other people saying too.
But yes, they were very hard to get in 2020, when this forum was written.

I've played one brilliant move. It was in a game against a bot. The idea was to sacrifice my queen for a bishop. Because that bishop was defending a pawn on the other side of the board, I could take that pawn with my rook, and one move later win the game.
I've only gotten one, and it was a checkmate against someone else after they made a serious blunder.
I’ve got lots of Brilliant moves!
The most simple way to understand how the computer determines brilliancies is as a move which is the best by a large margin and which offers your opponent material in some way. There's more to it I believe, but that's practically it. With that in mind they aren't too rare for tactically minded players willing to sacrifice- usually I'm more level headed when attacking, but I I had one game with 4 (over the board, I was Black here):
I'm sure many other players here have games with multiple as well, it just depends on how you approach attacking.
That's about right. A weaker player may be more likely to get it than a strong one. And I think I noticed a slight tendency for people to get more brilliant moves if they'd already made a bad mistake in a game. I think it's compensation for all the descriptions of moves as blunders and mistakes, so they wanted to bring in great moves and brilliant moves to sort of make people feel better.
