Generative AI, Defined

The idea
NIST's Generative AI Profile defines generative AI as models that learn the structure of their input data and generate new, derived content from it.
In practice
A writing tool drafts a paragraph that appears nowhere in its training text, in a style it learned there.
Where people slip
Derived is not verified: nothing in the act of generating checks the output against the facts.
