How Auto-Tune destroyed popular music (Rick Beato)

VIDEO EXCERPT: When I recently interviewed Billy Corrigan of Smashing Pumpkins he had this to say about artificial intelligence creating original music AI systems will completely dominate music. The idea of an intuitive artist beating an AI system is going to be very, very difficult [...] The selling point of generative AI is that no musical knowledge or training is necessary. Anyone can potentially create a hit song with the help of computers that evolve with each artificially produced guitar lick or drum beat....

[...] Your voice is imperfect. The imperfections in your playing or in your singing is what gives it character. Auto-Tune and Melodyne robs the performer of their unique humanity and emotion. It's the reason that I believe performances won't and haven't held up over time. Auto-Tune has become so common today that people will come into the studio, and they'll sing like they have auto-tune on their voice already because they're just so used to hearing it.
That's one of the things about Maroon 5, about Adam Levine's voice, that really from their first record on has always been heavily Auto-Tuned. I know it's part of the sound, but it's not anything that I really care for. Personally, I just don't like that sound because it always sounds like a computerized voice. [...] a robot voice. It really does rob the person of their humanity.
So what did people do before Auto-Tune? Well they, would sing it until they got it right. And typically the singers were actually just better singers.
Frankly they could sing more in tune because the only people that got record deals were people that could perform live, and they were great singers. I mean people that had phenomenal pitch and could perform the things live...
