No. It was already widely used, discreetly. She was the first to popularize using it cranked up to 11 as an intentional style choice. It's more apt to say she gave us T-Pain.
And T-Pain is awesome, so thanks, Cher!
(His cover of War Pigs from last year was pretty sweet.)

His Tiny Desk Concert was awesome too. He actually is an incredible singer without autotune.
That one was really good! I like his humor, and his voice really is good.
And wasn't it the producer who did the cranking uppa? She just gave the thumbs up. She didn't even write a single note on that track.
I'd argue it's exactly that exaggerated sound she's referring to. So by her giving us T-Pain she also gave us everything post T-Pain that also sounds like that.
At least T-Pain has a sense of humor about all that.
