Huh? Every single thing that could be considered artistic still needs to be done, it's just that now there's a new tool that allows you to skip some of the non artistic parts.

Then credit the people who actually did the artistic input - the composers, the writers, and so on. Not some manufactured figurehead identity slapped onto an algorithm.

Yea, THAT I can agree on.

On the other hand, you could say that what is actually getting the praise is the community in general with all the anonymous people that made the phenomena possible. But I don't know if it works in a way that makes that applicable. Or if it's actually true.

The composition remains to be done; but the actual production of vocal sound is also considered artistic.

By whom, and on what merit?

Comment author: lucidfox 28 June 2011 07:55:31AM 0 points [-]

By, uh, many people? Especially those who like to judge artists by their vocal skills? Singing is an art by itself.

And if you need a citation for that, then... I'm not sure what to say except engaging into complex and abstract discussions on the topic of "what is art?", which will distract us from the immediate subject.

I'm actually writing (or at least am supposed to be writing) an article about that. Let's just wait with this discussion until I've finished that.
