Fil does a good job hear of explaining why it is so different than effects.
A great explanation of pitch correction

Too Controversial To Have An Athleisure Line
That is a pretty good explanation. I've always thought of it like this: The vocal take is a performance. You put effects on that performance to spruce it up, make it sit better in the mix, add some shine, etc. Pitch correction is actually changing the performance.
That said, I've used it maybe a handful of times if there's a note or two that just don't sound spot on, no matter how many times I sing them.

That is I feel the right way to use it. It has become so commonplace now I think pop producers are afraid to NOT pitch correct everything, but it makes the vocals sound so sterile.

Serious error

10,000 takes if it wasn't right. But realistically, practicing the hell out of the material.
That, too, but probably just for a spot fix here and there.
I don't mind AutoTune if the performance is bangin' and there's a couple glitchy notes that need to be fixed. That's what we did with my last band. There was one song we used it on because two or three spots were a hair off. But bands throw it on the whole track and let 'er rip and it's just... meh...
Maybe that's why I think kids' music these days is interminably safe and boring. I'm old and I WANT NOISE!
