Am I the only person who is not entirely happy about the overuse of the pop-culture term 'inception' for everything that is remotely nested, recursive or strange-loop-like?

   In this paper, we will focus on an efficient deep neural network 
   architecture for computer vision, codenamed Inception, which derives 
   its name from the Network in network paper by Lin et al [12]
   in conjunction with the famous “we need to go deeper” internet meme [1]

I haven't personally noticed any buzz-wordiness about that term lately. Maybe I'm just not looking at the same stuff as you.
In other words, you haven't trained your personal neural net with enough Inception-meme instances to be finding it everywhere in the noise? ;)
There is at least one major neuroscientific paper with similar title http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/369/1633/2013...
