generative
AI that creates content
A generative AI tool or model can make new content, such as text, pictures, music, or code.
generative [model/tool/system/AI]
- The company added generative features that can write product descriptions from a few keywords.

productive and idea-creating
Something generative helps new ideas, actions, or results develop.
a generative [conversation/process/question/approach]; generative of [something]
- The workshop was most generative when participants started challenging each other's assumptions.
- A small amount of disagreement can be generative if the group handles it well.

- The meeting was generative and gave us many new ideas.
- Good questions can be generative.
rule-based sentence formation
In linguistics, generative grammar studies the rules that let speakers make and understand sentences.
generative [grammar/linguistics/syntax/theory]
- The course introduces students to basic ideas in generative grammar.
- Generative linguistics aims to explain how speakers can understand sentences they have never heard before.
- Her dissertation compares generative and usage-based approaches to syntax.
- Generative grammar is a theory in linguistics.
relating to reproduction
In biology, generative means connected with reproduction or making new living cells.
generative [cell/organ/tissue/process]
- In flowering plants, the generative cell divides to form sperm cells.
- The article distinguishes between vegetative growth and generative development.
- Older medical texts sometimes use generative to describe reproductive organs.
- Generative cells are involved in reproduction.

generative adversarial network
1competing neural network system
A generative adversarial network is an AI system where one part makes examples and another part judges them, helping the examples improve.
- The researchers used a generative adversarial network to create realistic faces.
- A generative adversarial network contains two models that compete during training.
- Early image-generation systems often relied on generative adversarial networks.
generative ai
1AI that creates content
Generative AI is AI that makes new content, such as writing, pictures, music, or code.
- The team used generative AI to draft product descriptions, then edited them by hand.
- Generative AI can create an image from a short text prompt.
- Schools are discussing when students should be allowed to use generative AI for assignments.
generative art
1art made by systems
Generative art is art made with rules, code, or systems that help create the final work.
- The exhibition features generative art created with code and motion sensors.
- She writes small programs that produce colorful generative art.
- Some generative art changes every time the viewer opens it.
generative design
1algorithmic design process
Generative design uses software to create many possible designs from goals and limits that a designer gives it.
- The engineers used generative design to reduce the weight of the aircraft part.
- Generative design can suggest shapes that a human designer might not consider.
- The studio combines generative design with traditional architectural judgment.
generative fill
1AI image filling feature
Generative fill is an AI tool that fills part of a picture with new image content.
- She used generative fill to extend the background of the photo.
- The designer selected an empty area and applied generative fill.
- Generative fill added a realistic shadow under the object.
generative grammar
1rule-based grammar theory
Generative grammar is a linguistic theory about the rules that let people make and understand sentences.
- Generative grammar became highly influential in twentieth-century linguistics.
- The professor explained how generative grammar treats sentence structure.
- Her research examines questions in generative grammar and language acquisition.
generative model
1model that creates examples
A generative model is an AI or statistical model that can make new examples like the ones it learned from.
- The lab trained a generative model on thousands of medical images.
- A generative model can write sentences that resemble its training data.
- The paper compares a generative model with a discriminative classifier.
generative music
1system-created evolving music
Generative music is music made with rules or systems that can change the sound as it plays.
- The installation plays generative music that never repeats in exactly the same way.
- He uses modular synthesizers to create generative music.
- The app produces calm generative music for meditation.
