I signed up for OpenAI's ChatGPT tool, and entered a query, like 'What does the notation 1e100 mean?' (just to try it out). And then when displaying the output it would start outputting the reply in a slow way, like, it was dripfeeded to me, and I was like: 'what? surely this could be faster?'

Maybe I'm missing something crucial here, but why does it dripfeed answers like this? Does it have to think really hard about the meaning of 1e100? Why can't it just spit it out instantly without such a delay/drip, like with the near-instant Wolfram Alpha?
