> Imagine waiting for a minute until Google spits out the first 10 results.

what if the instantaneous responses make you waste 10 min realizing they were not what you searched for?

I understand your point, but I still prefer instantaneous responses.

Only when the immediate answers become completely useless will I want to look into slower alternatives.

But first "show me what you've got so far", and let me decide whether it's good enough or not.

I am already at that point. when I need to search something more complex than exact keyword match, I don't even bother googling it anymore, I just ask chatgpt to research it for me and read it's response 5 min later.

Yes, I feel the same recently with Google results. But I think I would still like to see the immediate 10 results, along with a big button "Try harder - not feeling very lucky".
