Is there already a word for "an industry which has removed itself from reality and will collapse when the public's suspension of disbelief fades away"?

Calling this just "a bubble" doesn't cut it anymore, they're just peddling sci-fi ideas now. (Metaverse was a bubble, and it was stupid as hell, but at least those headsets and the legless avatars existed.)

In the age of local AI, GIGABYTE AI TOP is the all-round solution to win advantages ahead of traditional AI training methods. It features a variety of groundbreaking technologies that can be easily adapted by beginners or experts, for most common open-source LLMs, in anyplace even on your desk.

A variety of groundbreaking technologies, uh huh, okay then. In so many ways this is the perfect companion product for AI.

Why is it always transphobia with these kinds of people... is it because they feel racism is too risky? So they need a different outlet for hating on people based on what they believe is "science"?
