If you'd search on nexus you will find them.
I do not recommend them. The voice lines are collected and trained from people and companies who have *not* given their express permission to do so. Most companies already do forbid actors from doing dialog of their characters for fan based products, and this is part of the ongoing strike which the voice actors guild has also recently joined.
If you want voices, hire an actor.
Real people are being replaced by AI models. This means these folks don't get new work, they don't get money, and it's harder to compete for what's left. We will see what happens at the end of this strike, the consequences will be enormous for the entire entertainment industry, perhaps worldwide. Anybody who has respect for artists should avoid distributing AI work until this is resolved.
While I understand the sentiment, it is technically worth noting that modders use prexisting art assets all the time as well as remix pieces of fallout 4 art to create new assets. So using voice lines to create new ones really isn't all that different. However training AI on existing voices is not necessary. There is software out there that lets people use and alter voice lines from actual real paid voice actors in their software. All legal and ethical. The thing though is. If Bethesda allows us to mod everything they is available in the creation kit, I don't really see how this would be any different for voice lines unless they explicitly stated otherwise. Because all the voice lines the voice actors use are available in the creation kit.
However, most times people are talking about "using AI to make new things" they are NOT, in fact, talking about using existing in-game lines and remixing them. Hell I could do THAT. It's basic youtube poop level.
But they ARE often enough using voices tapped from other sources. Other games, characters in movies, etc. Some of the best AI voice training I've heard used Gaben's voice *so convincingly* even the people who DID that (the Alyx Gnome series by Wayneradiotv) said *straight up* - do not do this, it will get you in trouble some day, and count the months before this technology is heavily regulated. Whether it WILL be heavily regulated who knows. But it's *not* ethical to use ANY AI that you yourself didn't plug your own voice into, without the express permission of the company who owns the character, the game, etc.
A case in point: Garry's Mod mods for, say, dragging Aliens Isolation models or Batman game assets *are not legal*. it's not even a grey area, nor is it ethical. You sign a contract (however enforceable it might or might not be) to not do that very thing when you download and play a game. If the owners of the franchises put a stop to it, that's that. Just because they haven't, or have not noticed, doesn't mean it's free and clear.
This is why the console version of Fallout 4 cannot allow certain mods. and why sites like Nexus exist, to facilitate those less-than-proper things in a setting where they do not have to negotiate with major companies about legalities of using other people's stuff without their permission.
(full disclosure, I love garrys mod and have plentiful bits from a huge variety of games that I do not own in it, but I always live in the anxious state of 'some day, they will get sued to high heaven for selling this product and encouraging people to decompile our software which is expressly forbidden by clicking play and accepting the eula)
It's like listening to an extended Curie talking to me in real time!
Creepy and kinda cool.
XVASynth (that's probably your "AI program") isn't one of those fancy multi-modal LLMs. And so long as you use it locally and do not distribute - you neither break ToS of some AI corp (which would love to have all the queries controlled) nor any copyright of any voice actors or their employers. So go for it.
To be honest, I think the "strikes" and whatever other things people will try to come up with to hinder AI voice coverage will not do a jot to stifle this thing. Because the most common use-case is to "just have human voice over it", not a "voice of a certain person". And to that extent - there are already public free sounds and voices available to use on any LLMs you can think of.
So ultimately yes, that means certain roles of voice acting will be automated more and more and it will probably be a "part of luxury craftsmanship" at the end. Even today there are people who still smelt steel, make swords of it by hand and sell it. But those are - first - the very best of the best in their field, and - second - they don't do it en-masse, those are "prizes of art". Same will be with many of the jobs that will be automated by AI. Still remain in some capacity, but only the best of the best will be able to do it and only in small quantities as a sign of luxury.
So, "steal voice actors work without fair and just compensation".
Yeah, that's not legal, so no. That's not what will happen. "Letting modders do their thing" you realize that there are thousands of potential voice actors just sitting right here on the steam forum? Some might work for the joy of just doing it, others might volunteer or ask for modest compensation.
Voice Acting is a real thing that real people do.
AI is THEFT.
for op https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/49340 but you might have to do some work to get what you want.
If a mod author creates mods using AI then it is no different from someone copying a superhero costume for cosplay. You then do not see Marvel going around and suing every cosplayer at every convention for having copied one of their costumes. It is just fans showing their affection for the things they love and we let them and not sue them. As long as a mod author does not take money for their mods is there no imminent problem. If a voice actor disagrees with a particular mod will they have their reasons and have to take the person to court. They do not need some kid on the Internet to spasm over misdirected feelings of injustice. Rethink your next comments.
Talk to Elias Toufexas (adam jensen, among other roles) about how he as a voice and live actor feels about AI.
he is representative of the entire voice union. You need to remember that AI is trained on stolen, unauthorized voice clips.
Wake up. The tech will find its way. If voice actors unions are resisting it - so be it, but they don't have the power to control all voice recording that ever happens. Nor should they. If there's tech to do it and someone wants to use a VO of people who made their voice a public domain - there should not be any hurdles or obstacles to it.
