#Mastodon friends: a #language q for you.
If #data are “ingested” by models, is it most accurate to say outputs are “regurgitated”? Is there a more optimal verb to describe the generation of a model’s products?

@aleciabatson@mastodon.social it's certainly a term that can be used. Trying to be neutral here 😅

@aleciabatson@mastodon.social Emily Bender has been using "extrude" for years and I quite like it.
