For GLaDOS, they didn't just autotune it; they fiddled with the spectrum 
in a few other ways to make it sound more computerised.

(And yes, she can sing in tune. However, no human can quantinise their 
vocal pitch as harshly and artificially as a machine can.)

Coming back on-topic, I would suggest that the amount of distortion 
introduced depends on how far the software has to retune the sound. If 
you're a talented singer and you're only using AutoTune as a safety net 
(and you have it turned down to sane settings), it probably sounds 
pretty natural.
