What does this have to do with entropy?


The insects that crashed, or contained logic errors, or that cornered themselves, had high entropy. The "dumb kid's" insect had low entropy.

Think about it.


Yeah I understand how it was meant. But it's completely useless to use a mathematical/physical term with a very well defined meaning which does not apply in that context. It would have been better to use "complexity" instead. I feel "entropy" was only used for link bait reasons.
