I don't think any of these are particularly convoluted; they're in straightforward procedural code with a line for each letter. Most programmers could adapt the code to produce another string without too much effort.
What I'd consider convoluted is something like the Goodstein sequence[1] which would grow to monstrous proportions using far more memory than could be stored even if every particle in the universe represented one bit and far more time than beyond when the last black hole has evaporated, yet collapsed down (eventually) to "Hello World". (I've no idea how to do this.)
