Would it be a good idea privacy-wise to deny GPTBot from scrapping content from the server?

No, definitely not. Our work posted in the open is done so because we want it to be open!
It is understandable that not all work wants to be open, but access would already be appropriately locked down for all robots (and humans!) who are not a member of the secret club in those cases. There is no need for special treatment here.
