so if someone uses AI to voice a custom companion and does not make the mistake of naming the voice actor or a character using that actors voice, the author could make the claim the specific voice being synthesized is nothing but an impersonation or sound-a-like. many people do impersonations of other voice actors, jon baily and others for example impersonating peter cullen's optimus prime because they sounded "somewhat" like him, so they get jobs playing prime and not peter to save money. yeah, i know it's controversial with the "AI is takin' our jerbs" however, i believe when it comes to modding if you can get a free VA or hire a VA you should, but perhaps you cannot for some reason or another, then AI is perfectly fine in my opinion. I consider AI voice in modding nothing but the impersonation of a humans voice that may sound alike to someone in reality but, directly taking existing prerecorded lines of a voice actors work and repurposing it is theft without a doubt. It's all a matter of perspective, if AI voice is something you morally object to, don't support the author by downloading the mod. mods shouldn't be removed because they do not align with the opinions of a minority who does not necessarily represent the opinions of the whole modding community.
