  1. Generative AI, because it creates new content such as images and text rather than only classifying or scoring existing inputs it receives. ✓
    Correct. Producing novel content from a prompt is the defining feature of generative AI.
  2. A rules-based expert system, because it applies a curated set of human-encoded if-then rules to reach conclusions within a narrow domain.
    Incorrect; expert systems apply fixed rules and do not generate novel images or prose from prompts.
  3. A supervised classification model, because it assigns each input to one of several predefined labels learned from annotated training examples.
    Plausible as a common AI type, but classification labels inputs rather than generating new original content.
  4. A recommendation engine, because it ranks and suggests existing items to a user based on observed preferences and past interaction history.
    Plausible, but recommendation systems surface existing items and do not create new images or text.
The trap
Confusing generative AI (creates new content) with classification or recommendation systems that only label or rank existing inputs.
