Google has released its first set of quality updates to the new Google Search Generative Experience that began to roll out a few weeks ago. The most noticeable update is that it is much faster, in fact, twice as fast, in responding with an AI-generated snapshot/answer.

Danny Sullivan, Google's Search Liaison, said on Twitter, "we've made a number of quality updates, including a major improvement that reduces the time it takes to generate AI snapshots by half!"

It is for sure much faster, it feels more than twice as fast. I only see the AI generation animated for a few seconds or so.

The other "quality updates" that was included here are unknown, I did ask:
