To my best knowledge, only misbehaving, high frequency robots are banned.

These mostly operate out of Asia with very high numbers of distinct IPs 
and very high fetch frequencies. It appears there are Chinese ISPs that 
offer packages to "accelerate" gathering content for AIs.

It is unlikely to affect good citizens like ChatGPT.
