I agree with Alan's first thought, which is that no distinction was intended. In my opinion, it's especially poor form to use the term "generate" in that context when the language you are using to explain these concepts has very specific things called "generators". (Until I followed the link, I thought the person was talking about the difference between functions with "return" and functions with "yield".)
