You actually see this kind of shit in tech bro spheres where they describe some "new groundbreaking invention" using terms like this when it's something we already have, but they're version is shittier.

Adam Something on Youtube has a saddening amount of videos on this sort of shit.

I was talking to someone the other day who was really gung-ho about carbon capture technology. I listened patiently, and then asked: "You mean like trees?" Which set him off talking about using genetically modified algae for carbon capture, which is a neat idea, I guess, but the impression I got was that there's just no money in planting more trees so he wasn't interested in them.
