Would it be a good idea privacy-wise to deny GPTBot from scrapping content from the server?

Thanks!
Just out of curiosity, why is everyone so up in arms about this? I mean sure it’s just another corp but any other reasons?
Server load spent on a bot scraping our contributions to be used to make money.
There’s so much there that it’s gonna offend someone.
Wouldn’t it just be scraped once (per company)? That doesn’t sound like such a problem.
