Definition
生成 (shēng chéng) means 'to generate, produce, or form' and is used for processes that create something new, like data, images, or features. It is more formal and technical than 产生 (chǎn shēng), which is broader and can mean 'to give rise to' events or effects; 生 (shēng) alone is more basic and often means 'to give birth' or 'to grow' in everyday contexts.
