If something happens, then you can do something about it.

In this particular case, if enough people block ChatGPT scraping then it cannot become the next google. Most notably, I imagine all commercial news organizations will block it because they need people to visit their actual website to pay for putting news up on their website. And it will remain that way until it can be demonstrated that ChatGPT drives more traffic to a website than it redirects traffic away from a website. The Microsoft chat in Edge is much closer to that in the way its summaries include clickable quotes from articles.
