The traditional concept of generative music was that it was different each time and varied/developed/evolved while playing.
So it's generative in the way "generative design" is, but not oriented towards optimising for a goal, if that makes sense.
I don't know about Ableton loops but I've met some drummers like this but they are usually not all that popular. So I am guessing that is not what GarageBand is aiming at, in quite the same way. ;-)
Though perhaps that is generative in the sense of optimising towards a goal; I've not used it.
Eno's work was initially done with the Koan and I think he ended up in a sort of symbiotic relationship with the developers. It was a big deal for a while in computer music magazines in the 90s.
