I didn't know that they were not one and the same. So, if I were looking for a Generative AI answer to my question, I'd be making the following assumptions:


  1. The generative AI database would recognize that the needed dataset would include numerical data such as thread counts and sett size
  2. Those would be prioritiezed over inferences about color, unless a dataset that specified color based on pantone numbers or something equivalent existed.
  3. only THEN could a generative AI engine answer my question, and even then it's more complicated, because the "look" of a tartan, including sett size depends on other factors as well, such as how thick the individual threads are and how tightly they're woven.


And my guess is that that sort of cataloging has not been done.
