That probably describes the target audience for this sort of
thing rather well.

IMHO an 'audio engineer' adding this sort of processing (EQ +
compressor + mutiband compressor + exciter) to a vocal track
after having listened to it for 10 seconds is showing his/her
incompetence rather clearly.

It would be an interesting experiment to record the result to
a new track and let the 'track assistant' decide again. And
again, and again. Could be amusing.
