IA actually has technical and moral reasons to ignore robots.txt. Namely, they want to circumvent this stuff because their goal is to archive EVERYTHING.

Isn’t this a weak argument? OpenAI could also say their goal is to learn everything, feed it to AI, advance humanity etc etc.
OAI is using others' work to resell it in models. IA uses it to presrrve the history of the web
there is a case to be made about the value of the traffic you'll get from oai search though...
It does depend a lot on how you feel about IA's integrity :P
I also don't think they hit servers repeatedly so much
