Twitch needs to not touch AI, let alone feed video folks have made into it.

Using streams for AI training without consent is theft.

No one has consented nor wants gen AI to use any of our streams as part of training data. Please, do not make this a default feature, if at all.

What is this strange, stupid obsession with AI and trying to shoehorn it into literally every corner of the web? Is your goal ultimately to push away human talent in favour of stolen, regurgitated slop?

Stop it. Just stop. Let real human creativity shine. There's nothing to be gained by pushing away creativity for whatever "AI" has to offer.

I don't remember consenting to have my content or voice or even my chat messages used for training automated models of any kind.

Ashamed that Twitch would even consider it. Slapping your creators in the face and expecting them to be ok with it.

Repeating what so many have said, because it's just as true every time: training AI off of streams is wholesale theft of both the streamers' original work and that of all the people and companies whose work also appears on those streams. You are a broadcaster, you do not own ANY of the content that appears on these streams and have no right to sell it or repurpose it for profit. If you want to train off of our stuff PAY US, and pay those we feature.

Everybody hates AI. This feels like you hate your own platform. Prove us wrong and drop this AI ********

I am against AI for a multitude of reasons few examples it hurts content creators, artist, music producers, taking jobs, etc. AI as I see it it's getting rid of creativity and deeply affects people in the sense of creativity. the fact that twitch is even considered this deeply upset me. And the fact that AI would be giving the right to basically spy on creators and their communities really disgusts me in many ways that I can't put into words. Tbh I think most of not all AI should be taken down or at least out of the hands of everyone because the way it is destroying environments. I really hope twitch really does reconsider this because in my opinion it would more or less make twitch a worse place to be. If they go through with this i can see twitch taking a massive loss in both viewers and creators.

Using streamers to train AI is ridiculously unethical. It's intrusive and destructive in all of it's implementations. Twitch will fill with slop if this is implemented.

Using people’s streams to train AI is not just stealing from streamers and their ideas and creativity, but also stealing from video games, art, and anything else featured on stream. This is a terrible breach of people’s trust in Twitch and artistic integrity.

I am not a creator, but am a viewer and frequent chatter on Twitch. I do NOT trust any AI usage to handle my chat posts or the contents of the streamers I watch in an ethical manner. Also, read the room (the larger room, not the boardroom where this was dreamt up) - most of us are already suspicious or outright opposed to Generative AI.

Let's not make an update to start using people's streams to train AI, it's not your content to take without permission

Oh goodness, not Twitch too...

Applying AI to your site- especially in such an intrusive manner- isn't just shooting yourself in the foot, it's willfully stepping on a landmine and having your legs blown off! It's been proven time and time again to be a bad idea across many websites across the internet these past few years, so why in the world are more still insisting joining the dogpile anyway?!

The notion that anyone would even suggest AI immediately tells me the person who suggested it is just operating in bad faith. Everyone hates this and you're just forcing it. These people deserve to be removed from power because it's clear that words aren't swaying you!

We say no. You say how bout I do anyway. Don't be surprised when you get criticized.

The injection of AI slop and surveillance into everything has done no good for anyone but continues to harm industry after industry. Enough. Please. I've written off games that I'd been excited about, avoided films I'd been excited to see, and if I have to write off Twitch too, I will. Everyone hates this and will only grow to hate this more. Stop doing this.

content creation has always been about HUMAN creativity and using AI to generate slop at our expense is the antithesis of this. if twitch cares about its creators at all they will not move forward with this plan.

adding ai to twitch is like adding garlic powder to tiramisu: an excellent waste of time and money

AI is a bad idea. Its ethical, ecological and social costs exceed any benefits by far. Making IA the feature by default would make me think less of both twitch and amazon as a company, and i'd seek for other places to create content on.

Ai isn't a good idea, literally anywhere!!! It's so bad and is harmful not only for the environment but also for creators. As it steals people's ideas, personality, and many more. It should not be in twitch. Opting out is the bear minimum. It shouldn't be there period.
