ACIM theory question

I keep seeing all this information talking about really good regen on ACIMs. What I learned about induction motors is that running at negative slip draws power just like running at positive slip. I'm looking for a technical explenation of how an ACIM is forced to act as a generator(trying to make my own controller), or are ACIMs just self excited synchronous motors and the language is screwing with me?
