Google's new AI-powered search experience comes with a downside: long waiting times. In a world where search results are instant, the loading animations of the Search Generative Experience (SGE) are frustrating. Let's dive into the details.

"SGE aims to use AI to summarize search results, eliminating the need to click through links. While the responses themselves are generally accurate, they often come with cluttered additional information, making the search screen increasingly crowded. #AI #SearchResults"

"The extra information in SGE results isn't always helpful. Auto-generated buying guides can turn into messy results, filled with sponsored cards and confusing lists. This clutter adds to the frustration of waiting for the summary to appear. 

"What bothers me most about SGE is the wait time. As Google generates an answer, a loading box appears, causing delays. If I weren't testing for this article, I'd scroll away from most AI-generated responses to click on a link.

"To add to the frustration, SGE sometimes breaks down or fails to load for top-searched terms like 'YouTube' or 'Amazon.' The valid queries take what feels like forever to load, making the wait even more unbearable.

"Long waiting times on Google Search are a deal-breaker for me. I'd rather scroll past SGE results and find something to read or click on. Trusting AI-generated responses and dealing with the cluttered experience isn't worth the wait. 

"Some may argue I'm stuck in my ways, but investigating sources and being skeptical of AI tools are important to me. The Search Generative Experience doesn't feel noticeably better than the previous search results.

"Having spent eons on loading screens in videos and games, encountering the same on Google Search is a frustrating experience. Waiting for SGE answers that may not even be useful makes the search experience worse.

"In conclusion, while the concept of AI-powered search is intriguing, Google's Search Generative Experience falls short due to long loading times and cluttered results. Waiting for summaries and dealing with extra information make it a less appealing option.
