GPTBot
GPTBot is OpenAI's training crawler. It collects pages for model training, not for a live ChatGPT answer. ChatGPT-User and OAI-SearchBot are the fetch agents that retrieve a page when someone asks. The Fix Report's Technical Access crawler table scores each agent separately. Blocking GPTBot does not block live ChatGPT fetch.

Why GPTBot matters for a Fix Report
The Fix Report's Technical Access crawler table lists GPTBot as training and ChatGPT-User / OAI-SearchBot as fetch. A robots.txt rule that names only GPTBot does not decide live ChatGPT retrieval. The report shows each token's allow-block instead of collapsing them into one bot.
