I already perceive perfectly polished answers as artificial. "Super-correct" behavior, ideal work, the best solution are perceived as artificial.

No special name except it's " choice overload". But the psychologist Barry Schwartz wrote about the paradox of choice. There is the danger of paralysis in the decisions we make when there are so many competing alternatives.In the absence of choice, making a wish for a song or a film becomes easy, when your choices are infinite, making up your decision becomes much harder.
