While AlphaGo originally only had win rate as a metric, modern Go AIs have more knobs, including an evaluation of "complexity".

Just stating this off the top of my head so I could be misremembering, but I heard that the KataGo settings used were tweaked to favor complexity. This was most apparent in Game 1 which Shin Jinseo lost, where the AI had an unusual opening. However, the last game was quite plain leading me to wonder whether that setting was present in the last game (or at all).

Ah this is interesting. Essentially the idea is that the compute can try and move into positions that it can evaluate but humans might have trouble evaluating because of the board state's complexity?
