I mean just about every metric I've seen suggests most websites that see an increase in scraping see a decrease in actual human visitors. I doubt there's much distinction between chat and search users - the goal of these services is to drop click-through rates.

Oh, definitely. They are reinventing the old portals concept. That's why I don't think Reddit actually wants to encourage the scraping (partly also because they sell data themselves to build LLM, but that's another thing)
