How do you add value to an economy? Someone is paying for something.

If I had a magic box that made widgets out of thin air, I'd still have to sell them to people to realize any value. If I sold $4.4T of them then yeah, I'd make $4.4T, but I'd be taking that money from, you guess it, the Global Economy.

Unless my magic box generated actual money, I don't understand how you add $4.4T value to the global economy. With enough inflation I suppose you can skim from the overall inflation rate. But otherwise I'm not understanding what they're talking about.

Maybe they're saying the total net value of the global economy is static, but the amount that goes to generative AI will be $4.4T. I guess that's what they're saying.
