What does it mean they are generic keys?

https://winaero.com/windows-11-generic-keys-for-all-editions/

The Windows 11 generic keys are technically default keys that allows you to install the OS without activation. They don't provide you with a licensed copy, but are great for testing new builds. If Windows 11 refuses to install without a product key, or installs a wrong edition, you can specify the appropriate generic key.<

Yup, and they are published by Microsoft. So all ChatGPT is doing here is spitting out a key commonly found in it's training set. It's not calculating anything.

A nice way to farm clicks. KMS keys have been a thing for a long time, if ChatGPT needed to tell you about it, I don't know what to say.

But... I mean..., all you get out of that is a "working" copy of windows 11... seems like a lot of work to end up with... that.
