This article is horribly written and executed for many reasons, but the primary one being that the vast majority of the music credited as Daft Punk is just sampled music from other artists. You can eloquently see this broken down here: https://youtu.be/lBSWw7RdZLk

At least get the original works correct.

You seem to have a bone to pick with the idea that artists who sample can be colloquially credited as the songwriters of the songs they wrote. It's a surprising position to take; most people get by just fine saying that MC Hammer wrote You Can't Touch This, as one of many examples.

Please tell us more.

Whatever chopping and sampling Daft Punk does that the author tries to communicate in the article is pretty independent from the original works.
The article is poorly written, but all of the examples presented are about effects that Daft Punk made and do not appear in the original works.
<Wow i never knew their music was so complex. That video is amazing
