#12Procedural city generators are finally getting decent. See this one.[1] Not only does it fill a city with marginally reasonable buildings, every room in every building can be entered. The rooms even have furnishings.

A wild guess: more computing power means more content that can be processed and the need for more content can be addressed by computer generation. For example, just a few years ago open world games were just a handful and required a lot of work. Nowadays even a simple game can have a large procedurally generated world.
