"it is both a fine tool " It's a "fine" tool which allows for removing gross errors which shouldn't be there in the first place, and it allows people with no ability to pose as artists. It's really great. Nowadays all you need is good looks to be a "musician". "we should not blame the tool for the outcome" Even if both are tightly connected?

@chilloutloops9916 "Have you actually ever heard what a bad singer sounds like when heavily autotuned?" Yes, twice actually. In both cases raw vocals were a little bit off and totally uninspiring, but the result was "good". I write in quotes, because the resulting vocals were quite lifeless, but since you neither need nor want vocals full of life in every style of music, it worked good enough. "If you can’t sing, then all autotune will do is make you sound like a creepy unnatural robot. " I don't know, man. Justin Bieber (or however you spell him) was caught autotuning in a small-scale live event. Just him and a guitarist. The autotune was off and it pulled him into the wrong key. It sounded awful, but not robotic. This robotic sound you get when you really want it. Oh, btw - there was no doubt about what happened to Bieber. He admitted to it with his own words.
