Even if Discord wasn’t doing it, public Discord guilds are known to be scraped by a number of different bots. Previously, it was for spies, cops, and private investigators who wanted to search for messages by username. If those bots could do it before, AI bots will be doing it aggressively today.

AFAIK discord explicitly works with police, i mean they have a predator problem after all

hilariously there’s one bot that you add specifically so that stuff on your discord community isn’t lost to time, it scrapes the messages and mirrors it to a forum-like website that can show up in search engines.
