Well if you think through what world this will create - it will create one where all information is available up to around 2023, then once creators and writers have gone bankrupt or just noindexed everything, less and less new data will be available to feed the LLM. Because there's no way to get any value (money) out of creating quality content, this will either cease to exist, or it will move behind paywalls. For example, I just don't see reddit being indexable by google for long, or quora. They won't get anything out of that deal. Funnily enough it might be too late already, since all of Reddit's content has probably been eaten by google's LLM. So again - it will only be fresh content that will be excluded from google. But yeah, 100% agree, this is a new race to the bottom.
