It's worth noting that in this case "blocking" means "asking nicely for it not to index them" - so how effective this is depends on how well behaved the bots are.<p>There is a danger though if certain types of sites are more likely to block GPTBot than others, because that would end up skewing the data set that it trains off, which could have longer term impacts on all the content generated with it. If all the good quality sites block it and the sites full of AI generated junk don't, then that sounds like a downward spiral.
