Generative engine
A generative engine is an AI system that can create new content. This is in contrast to a discriminative engine, which is designed to classify existing content. Generative engines are a key component of many of the recent advances in AI, including large language models and text-to-image generators.
Generative engines are a key component of the next generation of search engines, and they are already being used by major players like Google and Microsoft.
