Make all AI features optional, and opt-out by default.
For any features on Twitch which use AI, allow all creators to opt in or opt out of them individually, and set the default to Opt Out for all new AI features. We as creators should have the choice whether to use AI or not on our channels. If we do not want to use it at all, it's important for us to be able to have that choice, AND for us not to be opted in by default.

I do not want any of my content used to train AI. Period.

Please let users be opted out of this by default. These sort of things are extremely delicate to handle and absolutely require consent. If you cannot follow such a bare minimum standard, there will be serious lashback, from me, and I am certain from thousands of others. Especially your partners.

Twitch is a creative space.
Most of us are against generative AI.
Implementing this is a huge slap in the face to your creators.
At the very LEAST make sure people have the option to opt out. -

Please allow streamers to have an opt out option for ALL AI features. You told us Partners at Twitch Con EU that every feature would have an opt out option for us, hold to that!! We are creators, we don't want AI and neither do our viewers so if you're going to force it on us then at least do us the courtesy of allowing us to opt out on our own channels.

If creators are not able to opt-out of all generative AI tools, especially those that use stream content as fodder for training Gen AI, I would put my money and time elsewhere. And of the principled streamers I watch, I’m sure many of them would seriously consider taking their talents elsewhere.

I will not consent to this NOR will I continue to stream on this site if it is forced upon us. This is a very poor choice and will have massive consequences if it is implemented. Streaming on Twitch is already hard enough for small creators and large alike but this is just not ok and disgraceful. I am not streaming here to train AI, use AI, or create content with AI, we are here for our love for gaming and our communities.

If Twitch decides to implement more AI features into the platform, I'll be heavily considering cancelling my subscriptions and leaving the platform.

Isnt Twitch already not profitable? Why invest time into ai at all when it isnt profitable either unless youre a graphics card maker.

I'm nothing more than a drop in an ocean, but I will abandon this site unless I am able to opt out of this.

NO AI!
We refuse to allow our streams to be used to train AI. We will drop twitch if AI is trained on our creations.

I do not like the AI features being implemented and fully believe they will further degrade the platform if not optional and opt out by default at the very least. I already have the AI summaries turned off and find it disgusting that you will be wasting money on this.

This platform will never see another stream or a comeback from lapsed creators if this feature is implemented. Whether it uses footage of art, a person's face, or even someone's icon, that all violates personal brands and reputations. Your platform will lose a significant amount of viewers and streamers, possibly even a vast majority who would prefer their images and representations to not be scraped for AI training, and it will destroy what little bottom line still remains... so if not for the users, at least consider the financial disaster that looms if this AI training feature is added.

Twitch barely works in firefox, but y'all have time to force genAI on content creators and viewers? Please focus on things that actually matter, like providing a stable streaming service that works for more than three browsers

AI is destroying creative spaces, the economy and the ecosystems around us especially where data centers are being built. Also it is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful honestly that they are even considering this- when you have legitimate creators like musicians and artists using your site, attracting sometimes thousands of viewers.
I refuse to give my skills, my art, my voice and my content to train, feed, or produce stuff for AI. I will leave the platform and go to a different site in a moments notice. It does not matter if it is opt out or not.
Say no to AI.
