You can block an IP but first you would need to know which IPs are scrapers. And they could just use a VPN to bypass IP blocks.
Yes, the less expensive VPNs especially have a lot of users using the same IP addresses.
You can get a VPN with private IP's but this is more expensive. For a company of OpenAI's size that would be a drop in the bucket though.
