AC generators can most definitely share a load, and co-exist on the same "bus" or transmission medium.
The only requirement is that they are in sync, phase and frequency wise.

Pretty much exactly the same as how your home Solar Inverter feeds its energy back into the grid.

I would hope aircraft generators ran in sync, otherwise switching at an inopportune moment (like when one failed) might lead to smoke and noise......
