Are these IPs actually from OpenAI/etc. (https://openai.com/gptbot.json), or is it possibly something else masquerading as these bots? The real GPTBot/Amazonbot/etc. claim to obey robots.txt, and switching to a non-bot UA string seems extra questionable behaviour.

I exclude all the published LLM User-Agents and have a content honeypot on my website. Google obeys, but ChatGPT and Bing still clearly know the content of the honeypot.

What's the purpose of the honeypot? Poisoning the LLM or identifying useragents/IPs that shouldn't be seeing it?
