Yes - I used AutoTune in recordings back in 1999/2000 - it was available as a DirectX plugin even then (I was one of the rebels who used Ensoniq paris for its superior musical instrament like qualities, unlike the now dominant thug "pro tools") - even on low end processors then it was practical to do it almost real time (and in any case, often I would just draw the graph of where the notes were meant to be).
Once you did that a bit, you started to hear it everywhere. So I would put it at about 2000/1999 when I stopped hearing bum notes in pop songs on the radio.
As a fond example, listen to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers "under the bridge" - a MASSIVE hit in the early 90s, most of the notes are flat. Can you imagine that song being a hit like that now in that form?
