In 2023, the question was simple enough to answer in a hallway conversation: "Should we block GPTBot?" You added one line to robots.txt, felt vaguely responsible, and moved on.

That question is now obsolete — not because the answer changed, but because the question was wrong. There is no single bot. There is no single decision.
