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.

As a Vtuber, it is in my artists TOS that their model art CANNOT be trained on AI. If this goes through, I will not be able to stream with my Vtuber. Im heartbroken and hope they reconsider

Generative AI does nothing but use and abuse the data it harvests to output generic garbage that only gets more and more generic, and trying to bring up other "better" uses of AI is bad faith argumentation because that is NOT what the big AI names like Sam Altman are promising. He's talking about making a genie in one breath and saying there shouldn't be a decrease in work hours in the other.
Stop it already.

No one wants AI, in anything. You will lose your streamers and their audiences, just stop it

AI features should not be allowed, EVER. But having features be optional for opting out is worth hanging on to.

As a streamer, I do not want my likeness used to train AI. If there is not an ability to opt out, I will stop using Twitch.
This will hurt streamers; viewers will refuse to watch Twitch/streamers. Our numbers will suffer, our subs will drop, and Twitch will lose revenue.
We do not want this.

No one wants this, no user will benefit from this, and it's only going to tie you down to an economic boondoggle for years to come.

I do not want anything to do with AI. If you want to drive a bunch of your creators away, the ones who are making you all the money, then feel free to do this. In the future, it will be a case study of how to destroy a working company.

If I were to start streaming again and my stream was allowed to be used to train AI without my consent, I would absolutely stop streaming on Twitch and forget about ever watching anyone on the platform again. I know I'm not alone in this. You will kill your business if you do this.

AI is ruining the creative process, stop stealing from the creators.

The ethical reasons are obvious by now, so I'd like to add this: AI breaks everything it's added to. I avoid so many sites now because they just don't work after adding AI features. Twitch already doesn't work, if they add AI it's going to explode.

Thank you! Companies pushing AI training onto their own platforms is so absurd.

This is beyond harmful to artists, creatives, authors, and even streamers! And to say this, keep AI away from our streams, period!

Nobody wants AI training, not for ethical purposes anyway. If you plan to roll it out anyway, I hope you know you're making your own coffin.

If my streams are gonna be used to train AI and I have no say in the matter then I'll simply stop streaming on Twitch. It's not like there's a lack of competition nowadays for platforms
