Generativeness

/ˈdʒɛnərətɪvnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being generative; the capacity to produce or create.

Etymology

From 'generative' plus the noun suffix '-ness'. This nominalization allows 'generativeness' to function as an abstract concept describing the underlying quality of being productive.

Kelly Says

The 'generativeness' of human creativity is what separates us from machines—until recently, we thought only living things could truly create rather than compute or copy.
