Only for a small group who makes money on ads. For any small business it is either a wash or a boon, since it makes people more likely to know about them. Your hotel does not care where you found them, and will be quite happy not to pay the experia fee. Same thing with the ethnical restaurant, the hardresser or the accountant.
For those who make money on subscriptions it is a no issue, since the robot can't index the content anyway.
But yeah, if you are an influencer, well the world is probably strictly better of without you.

Having that content laundered through an LLM removes those benefits. If AI ever becomes a major way to search for businesses it will quickly become pay to play. Letting an AI company scrape your website won't get you much at that point beyond the ability to pay for traffic.
