barf out

Eject from stomach

Barf out means to vomit or produce something in a messy, uncontrolled way.

Literally, it's emphatic for throwing up: He barfed out everything he'd eaten.

Figuratively, it describes producing content rapidly without refinement: The AI just barfs out generic responses.

The phrase emphasizes volume and lack of care over quality.
