Generative indigestion
A phrase for the stage in the AI–human interaction loop at which humans take in and understand information, coined by Seungjoon Choi on February 18, 2025.1
Whenever I explore something, even a little, there is an excess of (high-quality) generation. But even after I read it all, only some of it stays in my head. There is a lot I don’t understand, too, and trying to understand it sends me down rabbit holes of study that take up (a lot of) time.
It is often fun, and sometimes satisfying, but being in this state all the time isn’t healthy. It feels like indigestion from overeating.
