If you are building for yourself instead of buying from someone else, you haven’t unlocked any value in the economic sense. Perhaps by making NVIDIA richer, but who knows how much they have indirectly spent through AI companies these years to get your couple dollars a month back to Jensen’s pocket.

A company/person that writes its/their own application that shaves 1% off capex or opex will absolutely unlock value in the economic sense.

The articles says "AI needs $6T in annual revenue."

That is definitely adding to the annual revenue figure.
