Sounds like it's just trying to mix up words to make normal cause and effect sound like spooky action at a distance.

Words are a bad medium for conveying truth about reality. Or anything, really.

It's a ruse to let me call people dumbass's and get away with it and I'm also a dumbass.

Pretty sure some slopmaster asked an AI chatbot to make a catchy headline for the quantum mechanics we've known for years.

You have a quantum cat-in-a-box. The cat is in a superposition of being alive and dead. You make the "human choice" to open the box. Now the cat turns out to be dead, and it actually died 10 minutes before you open the box. So you can kind of interpret it as your choice affecting reality 10 minutes backwards.
