Most of us don't want AI features at all and we've been very loud and very clear about that. If you insist on forcing it on your creators and viewers it should, at the very least, be an *opt-in* not an opt-out.

And, if the latest news is true, planning to scrape your creators to train Amazon's AI is reprehensible. We are not fodder to be fed to the plagiarism machine. You have professional creators on your site whose voices and likenesses are their livelihood. (Scraping anyone's likeness and voice, particularly without consent, is incredibly creepy.) You have artists who certainly won't consent to have their art trained on. Professional VTubers whose models are tied to their agencies.

That's not even considering the myriad other ways genAI is unethical. And, to echo many others, if this is the path Amazon is choosing, I'll be leaving. You've repeatedly tested your streamers and viewers collective trust. Pushing AI is going to be the final straw for many of us, and will ultimately only deepen the financial hole I'm sure has already been dug in pursuit of popularizing something so fetid.

I mean this so hard, and I hope you hear it... No. Absolutely not, no. Definitely not. We do not want our content to be used in ANY regard for slop, for training AI, whatever else comes with that. We do not consent. Do not add anything AI. Period.

AI is ruining everything

Scraping audio and visuals from live streams and vods for training AIGeneration is an extreme breach of copyright against your creators. Not only that but it sows distrust among your creatives and will cost both Twitch and Amazon so much that Twitch may have to shut down as a result. No one wants this.

"Opt-OUT?!" Frickin' make them opt-IN! Most of Twitch DOES NOT CONSENT to their stuff being used! And there are SO many people who no longer have access to their old Twitch stuff anymore (for example, being DEAD) and would 1,000,000% OBJECT to their stuff being used for AI!

DO NOT BLOODY DO THIS. KEEP AI AS FAR AWAY FROM TWITCH AS POSSIBLE. YOU ARE ACTIVELY AND LITERALLY HURTING PEOPLE.

I won't go live until AI is opt-out by default

You do this and I speak for MOST of the creators on here - we will leave. We will find another platform - one that doesn't engage in slop. Follow through on this and lose your entire business. You've been warned.

Regardless of your thoughts on AI, forcing people to let their streams be used for training any generative model is a huge breach of trust and privacy.

This is such an AWFUL idea and will impact your platform negatively in so many knock on ways, I couldnt think of a better way to destroy trust in the platform itself and drive communities away.

AI is garbage slop and you want to steal the work of actual creators to make more? When will AI leave us alone?

I think strongly getting a tool to ai scrape creators is a big PR mistake, and bad for the end consumer, it will make people uncomfortable being on the platform, as a creator and as a viewer, this is not the way to grow.

The use of Ai for training purposes is a violation of creator trust and the rights of the users you have already built a relationship with.
To continue is to fail both your current users and future creators.

A nickel of free advice, don't drive away the people who use your platform to make stuff. If they leave, the money leaves. That's what happened to Tumblr. And last I checked, no AI has actually managed to show any kind of profit, so don't count on trading creator driven revenue for AI driven revenue.

Using ai to make slop and train itself on someone else is unlawful and also unethical. Especially when some streamers can get away with saying slurs and other disgustingly harmful things. It should be optional and be able to be disabled if you are against it.

It is clear you have not observed the losses in many social media platforms before, all that have denied individual consent to freely opt in or opt out of AI training. It is clear you have not observed the tens of thousands outraged by such decisions, and left. If you're really deadset on joining the bandwagon for an inauthentic fad at the price of immeasurable losses, at least give us the very option to join the rot or not.

Autonomy is the one thing you can't create with generative AI, so you leech off of your users, both creators and viewers, because of your utter vacuousness.

i refuse to let AI train off me and i don't want more harm to our earth to happen because of it, Please allow streamers to have an opt out option for ALL AI features, at the very least

Twitch introducing AI features AT ALL would make me heavily consider leaving the platform, and being forced into them would most certainly make me never consider coming back. The increasingly intrusive advertising was already a significant downturn for serious engagement with Twitch as a platform, and any AI ******** would somehow manage to be *drastically* more destructive yet.

If Twitch forces this slop I'm leaving the platform, and taking my financial support of my favorite streamers elsewhere.

This is extremely short sighted and should allow us to, without a shadow of a doubt, opt out of AI features. This is very important to a large number of creators that have commissioned work and use assets on the daily that have been made by people who ALSO do not want that work to be fed to AI. This fosters ill will all around and is a short term gain and a long term loss.
