I dunno. I run a small browser-game, and while my server has been periodically getting absolutely pulverized by LLM scrapers, I have yet to see a single new account that looks remotely like it was created by a bot. (Also, the rate of new signups hasn't changed notably.) This is true for both the game and its Wiki—which is where most of the scraping traffic has been. (And which I will almost certainly have to set to be almost-completely authwalled if the scraping doesn't let up.)
