Do you remember
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tearjerker_%28American_Dad!%29 "Tearjerker" episode in American Dad? It was stylized a'la James Bond and Roger assumed the role of the villain who produced a smorgasbord of shitty movies with the use of
Quoterobots making terrible films that no one would want to see,
the world will be forced to go see
Tearjerker's very own cinematic masterpiece
Robots can be interpreted as an allegory of a soul-less movie industry churning out movies with money-selling formulas in mind but not with substance, also the actors - doesn't matter if they can act or not - it's just familiar faces that count.
Ok so the big point is, does music show-biz does that on purpose to? It produces many "autopilot-crafted" performers and then contrasts it with one Adele, Florence + the Machine or Lana del Rey (which are also manufactured to lesser or bigger extent by the way) and in contrast they market it as "art" with "soul" as something totally opposite to it those soul-less artists on AutoTune the same music industry produced...
Isn't it essentially the same as in that American Dad episode?
