>Stop strawmanning.

Nice try, but asking a question confirming your opponent's position isn't a strawman.

>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?

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.


the snippet should be written differently.

instead of the ai saying "gruez is japanese" it should say "hacker news alleges[0] gruez is japanese"

there shouldn't be a separate disclaimer: the LLM should tell true statements rather than imply that the claims are true.

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.
