Makes sense, OpenAI will probably have to apply for a TV-license first.

I don't live in the UK, but I would gladly pay the TV license fee, or even a premium on top of it, if I had unlimited access to iPlayer. My only option right now is BritBox, which is not great and not really worth the money.

Just VPN to the UK and then tick the box which says you have a TV license? Or there are other ways to get the content most likely! 🏴‍☠️

VPNs are always blocked in my experience.
