Gregory House is the main character of a TV show that has actual plots. Vocaloids are just animesque moeblobs.
Furthermore, Gregory House is not credited for programmatically singing songs actually written and composed by humans.
Except people don't treat it that way. In any case, our senses don't work that way. If it's anthropomorphized (pointlessly, in this case), we automatically think of it as having the qualities of a person, whether it makes sense or not.
His actor, Hugh Laurie, is credited for performing lines written by different humans. Why does Hugh Laurie deserve performing credit when Miku doesn't?
Because Laurie is a person?
Yes, that is the reason.
The question is whether and why we should consider Miku a non-person. I was attempting to refute the proposed personhood predicate implementation.
