Text generation and search are the drivers for some trillions of dollars worth of economic activity around the world.

That is monetary value. The poster may have meant "delivery" value - which has been limited (and tainted with hype).

Which «text generation», apart from code generation (quite successful in some models), would amount to «trillions of dollars worth of economic activity» at the current stage? I cannot see it at the moment.

I cannot see any major use case apart from code generation and autocompletion. Maybe summarizing text and learning new things but that can be achieved by any search engine.

A good search engine could probably take over llm.
