I just stumbled on it while searching for AI crawler user agents. I'm not sure how often it's updated. It seems fairly complete from other sources I've been looking at (mainly robots.txt files for well-known publishers).

As long as ChatGPT offers few or no financial incentives to creators of media, this percentage will increase. As they are at the moment, OpenAI are parasites.

Government tends to do what only government can do (e.g. issue passports, driving licenses, file taxes, etc.), and things where natural monopolies exist (water supply, trains, roads). What exactly would you privatise? (read: hand over obsce

I'd block it on all of my sites, except in the limited cases where it's advantageous for me to let them scrape it. So, blog posts, things like that: no. Things like technical documentation, that users of ChatGPT might find use
