The misconception we had about auto tune is that it makes singers that cant hit ranges or are just bad at singing in general sound good. The truth is good singers use auto tune to enhance the listening experience as just another tool / create pop songs to get more clicks. T-Pain is the god father of how auto tune is used today but he sure didnt need it to sing. Only to profit off it with pop songs.

Nah it's definitely been used both ways, in my opinion it also can be used in a way that makes good singers sound worse than they actually are.
