  1. It produces new content such as text, images, audio or code rather than only classifying inputs. ✓
    Correct: generative AI is defined by its ability to create novel content, distinguishing it from purely predictive or classifying systems.
  2. It assigns inputs to predefined categories and never creates any novel content of its own.
    Plausible but wrong: that describes a classifier or discriminative model, the opposite of generative AI.
  3. It is any system that follows fixed if-then rules written entirely by human domain experts in advance.
    Plausible but wrong: rules-based expert systems are a distinct, non-generative approach to AI.
  4. It is any AI that makes decisions with no human intervention across a fully autonomous control loop.
    Plausible but wrong: autonomy is a separate characteristic and does not define generative capability.
The trap
Equating generative AI with autonomy or rules-based systems instead of the capacity to create new content.
