Perhaps this is a cultural thing, but doublespeak seems to be prevalent even in casual conversation

I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before....
