nocturneIs this how Steve Vai did the talking guitar on Yankee Rose?
Nah that’s just him being amazing. Peter Frampton has solid talk box examples

Can’t think of any from the 21st century though
Foo Fighters - Generator (live on Jools Holland) [1999]
Baron Von JSlash uses one on the first Slash’s Snakepit album. I think on the track Lower.
Tool’s Jambi from 2006 has one in it:
daddyjonesDoesn’t a vocoder do something similar?
They can have similar results, but the approach is different. A vocoder takes two inputs (ie. guitar and voice) and harmonizes them, outputting a mixed electrical signal after combining. A talk box plays a single input audio (guitar) through a speaker and the sound travels up a tube to the performer’s mouth, which the performer uses to shape the sound. The audio is then picked up by a microphone.
No mention of the greatest effect of all - the univibe…
