>That would depend on whether the snippet was presented as "this is a view of the other website" vs "this is some information"

So all google had to do was reword their disclaimer differently?

Stop strawmanning.

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.
