No, there's no "wording" that gets you off the hook. That's the point. It's a question of design and presentation. Would a legal "Reasonable Person" seeing the site know it was another site's info, e.g. literally showing the site in an iframe, or is google presenting it as their own info?
If google is presenting the output of a text generator they wrote, it's easily the latter.
Exactly. This is the consequence when search engines cut out all the sites they used to send traffic to and instead present AI summaries as their own seemingly-authoritative content in order to keep the user from leaving. If you provide material in a way that your users trust, then you have to back it up. The alternative is to make sure that your users don’t trust it (and thus are disinclined to use it).
Nice try, but asking a question confirming your opponent's position isn't a strawman.

So you want the disclaimer to be reworded and moved up top?
No disclaimer is allowed. They can link to the misleading/wrong site only in the case that it is obviously a link.
you cannot make a safe lawnmower. However lawnmoser makers can't just put a danger label on and get by with something dangerious - they have to put on every guard they can first. Even then they often have to show in court that the mower couldn't work as a mower if they put in a guard to prevent some specific injury and thus they added the warning.
which is to say that so long as they can do something and still work as a search engine they are not allowed to use a disclaimer anyway. The disclaimer is only for when they wouldn't be a search engine.
> Nice try, but asking a question confirming your opponent's position isn't a strawman.
It isn't inherently, but it certainly can be! For example in the way you used it.
If I were to ask, confirming your position, "so you believe the presence of a disclaimer removes all legal responsibility?" then you would in turn accuse me of strawmanning.
Back to the topic at hand, I believe the bar that would need to be met exceeds the definition of "disclaimer", regardless of wording or position. So no.
