Core concepts
What does generative engine mean?
Generative engine means a system that creates a response, such as a written explanation, rather than simply reproducing a fixed result.
In search contexts, it can combine a language model with retrieved information. Generated wording may differ even when the question stays the same.
Generation and retrieval are distinct processes. A generated answer may contain unsupported details despite drawing on genuine sources.
In Seenford

Example
