"Did /vAI/ get banned?"

No.
This can be easily proven through the trashcan icons on Palanq.win. Of every /vAI/ thread that has existed in /vt/'s history, there is exactly one thread that has been actually removed by jannies (for spam), and every other one have properly been archived off of the board. For comparison, take a look at the trashcan icons for threads like /ag/, /meat/, and /ringo/, where there's a lot more obvious janny interference than /vAI/.

"If you guys aren't banned, then where are your threads?"

Dormant. And given the lack of interest in voice AI, it'll probably stay dormant indefinitely.

"What about all the deletions that were happening during /vAI/'s heyday?"

That whole situation was more about people posting NSFW in a blue board rather than the jannies going after voice AI specifically for any sort of legal/ethical reason. The situation that happened there is no different than the vacations that happen whenever someone posts porn in /vtai/ or ERP caps in /wAIfu/.

"Where can I find old /vAI/ generations?"

Reps.

"But the Pastebin got deleted..."

We're not going to spoonfeed you. Do your goddamned reps.

"What can I use in the meantime?"

For speech-to-speech, use RVC. You can reference this Dickswordfag google sheet for models.
For text-to-speech, use either GPT-SoVITS, Fish-Speech, or StyleTTS2.

"Horse?"

No one likes you people. Go back to /vtsg/ or get the fuck off this website.
