Slightly related to a recent post.
I understand procedural generation in video games is basically an instruction set to tell the computer to run through to get the same result every time so that it doesn’t load a whole level each time, it builds the level based on a set of parameters.
How is this different than just loading a built level? Isn’t that what a normal script of code is in any other game? Is an instruction set to tell the computer to load the level?
Is it just the difference between one being done by a programmer and one done by a level designer/artist? They both need assets already designed and made to work right?

The biggest difference is that with classic) manual generation every person will see the same thing.
With procedural generation each person will see a different thing.
