Default Thin Ailerons

What aerodynamic effect would one experience using an aileron that is significantly thinner than the trailing edge of the wing?

Any and all input would be appreciated. Thanks, everyone!

In the first photo, the thin white line at the rear of the TE is the aileron, viewed from the side.
