I'd say that it is still the same today but the same tools can be used to make AAA games.

The sheer amount of games made by under 20s is definitely higher today than back then, and I'd argue the quality of it too.

The fidelity, definitely. I think quality is a harder sell. I do think we have more gaming history behind us now to draw from and I think we will be entering a new golden age soon but at the moment gaming feels like it's in a rut.
