Autogenerating all larger cities for BG2 world map via AI?

Has anyone thought of autogenerating all larger cities for the BG2 world map?
We have Athkatla and a few smaller cities, but many more are missing.
Can we autogenerate these via AI?
That, of course, still leaves the question of quests, NPCs etc... but perhaps this could also be generated via AI first and then filled in manually or so. Certain quests can probably be streamlined and written in an intermediate format, before generated into whatever the format that is used by the engine. It's still probably a lot of work, but it would be interesting if anyone has tried to go for the FIRST step via AI, and how so. And, whether that work could be re-used by others to extend it. Something like a huge world-map addon, e. g. not just the world map, but also connected with at the least some cities. (I am not saying every city should be there, mind you, but perhaps, say, aim for +3 new cities or something like that. Something that could be done in a year or two when there would be, say, 3 or 4 developers who understand how to create mods).
