Some people say it’s really privacy-giving and that you should use it as a privacy alternative. Others say it’s alao on the big tech side. What’s going on with telegram, really?

All data sent to Telegram’s servers will be encrypted once they reach the servers.

and who generated the key?

After doing a quick scan of their FAQ, there’s nothing about who generated the key. So my wild guess is the client. I bet their source code can answer that question, but I have no clue.

That was a rhetorical qustion. It’s their servers which generates the key. So Telegram has both the lock and the key and claim they are “heavily encrypted”.
