You probably end up with energy (if these devices take a lot of energy to operate) as the new currency. So what's stopping you from replicating a power source

You probably end up with energy (if these devices take a lot of energy to operate) as the new currency. So what's stopping you from replicating a power source and battery? Seems analogous to LLM's: replicators replicate but do not create. Information would then seem to the proper choice for a new currency..
