Found another example of Google stealing something I’ve written and putting it in a “featured snippet”.
What’s super annoying about this one is that the source is a course page at Tufts University, not the official page of the publication they’re taking this text from. I know the professor who taught that course and I’ve guest lectured for them before on this topic. They put this publication in their course readings, and I guess that’s where Google picked it up.
here’s my old web page at Brandeis University
