Your word choice implies a very zero-sum perspective on value.

Value is determined by what we value, it's a choice. If a bunch of scientists value good approximations for how a protein will fold, and then a model generates more such things in a year than those scientists could make in a century, that's a lot of value. Not extracted from anyone, created.

Yes. Value created by the people who made the data the model trained on, and the people who ensured that the training created a good model. I'm just saying it's not magic, just another kind of high-level work that people do.
