In principle I like the idea, but I can also see some ways in which this could have some very weird, subpar outcomes. One easy example: a news provider (NYT, WSJ, etc.) asks LLMs not to crawl any of their content, while the subjects of some of the journalists' corruption investigations launch their own made-for-LLM pages with positive coverage of themselves.
This is definitely a complex area, and very likely to be THE legal story of the year, either this year or next. This is kind of everything.
