[AMBER] Explanation of energy "genBorn" column in 3D-RISM calculation? Is solvation free energy computed?

Hello there! I've been running 3D-RISM calculations to benchmark our
empirical model in Rosetta, and was wondering about the energy output when
mme() is called. Specifically, I see a value in the column for "genBorn"
(see below), even though I have not turned on generalized born
electrostatics in my *.nab file ( the default value for "gb" is supposedly
"0").

Is this value being calculated anyways, or is a different value been
displayed in this column...
Is the 3D-RISM solvation free energy being computed by amber?

Thank you so much for any help!
