What "other people"?
If it's the "you" who is not allowed to scrape google in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36817237 then you can make your own "google is not allowed to scrape my thing" rules if you think that's beneficial for you.
If it's somehow related to LLM providers or users I doubt that's what the original comment was referring to.
To be clear, I understand the original comment as
LLM companies say "I can use your content and you cannot not prevent me from doing so, but I won't allow you to use the output of the LLM" just like Google says "I can scrape your content and you cannot not prevent me from doing so, but I won't allow you to scrape the output of the search engine"
You should change "you cannot prevent me from doing so" into "you'll need to setup your ressources in the way that I defined if you don't want me to slurp them".
I see it as the equivalent of the spam mail that require the user to login to disable them.
