I could see a huge business opportunity here. In Amazon S3 there is a concept of "requestor pays" so you can have an S3 bucket that loads of people download data from yet you aren't hit with the bill and instead the "requestor" pays for the bandwidth. With AI scraping becoming more of a thing, a cloud platform could roll out a feature where an AI is allowed to scrape the daylights out of your site, but they must pay for the bandwidth or bandwidth + premium. In this scenario you wouldn't wake up bankrupt but instead with a windfall of cash because TikTok decided to scrape all your stuff.
