Generative design isn’t AI. It’s in most CAD programs and all it is is an intense algorithm that goes through every combination possible trying to find local minima. The BBC has no clue what it’s talking about here, it’s not AI. There’s no “asking” it anything.

This is like saying that LLMs are not AI, they're just incremental probabilities to determine what the next most probable word is in a sequence of word combinations.

Machine learning is machine learning.

Since when is generative design machine learning? It’s finding local minimus not machine learning.
