Putting aside for the moment the question of whether “generative” implies “transformative” in the specific sense under discussion in copyright law, the definition of “transformative” in this context is highly contentious, and courts have avoided defining it in an unambiguous way.

This is a big part of why fair use is in such a bad state right now: no predictability in how courts will rule on it as a defense, plus no way to keep you out of courts in the first place.
