I do enjoy daft punk, they sample, edit, reorganize songs and make something new.
they didnt pushed a button and had new songs, what they did had new value, its an artistic piece of media that anyone can say its real music.
Now if they pressed a button and just hoped for a new album, would it be good? dunno, i just know that they did some great music, and poured a lot of effort into it, even playing live they mixed their own songs into new creations.
Art I think requires at least some kind of work, even if you take almost no time, it took a lot to get there, getting to that point is hard and the artist's journey is what I guess gives the art its value
