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.

Leave out the AI! What makes you think that's a good idea at all? You have no idea how much money and how many big streamers you'll lose from this. Honestly, I'm kinda over y'all's ********. At least with Picarto they don't take a lot of money. Reverse this idea and you'll save yourselves a lot of money. Thought you liked money, afterall you greedy *****.

I don't want my art or any of my streams to be used as training data for twitch, amazon, or anybody. Twitch should be protecting their streamers from this by giving them control, not adding to it.
The only acceptable implementation for this will be if it is opt in only. Even then, I would rather they didn't do that - because once that switch is built, the incentive on Twitch's side will always be change it to 'opt out' (because nobody would choose to opt in to that without compensation)

I've always been Anti AI, and for them to use any streams I've made (For better or for worse) without permission is deeply insulting. Us streamers are not as replaceable as they think.
Twitch needs us, and if they're smart they'll keep us happy by not feeding our likeness and personalities into a machine, only to have it **** out recycled content that wastes water and pollutes back at us!

The idea of Twitch using AI for this kind of **** is stupid hopefully they listen to this feedback and don't lean towards using AI at all

If Twitch starts using my streams as training data for an AI, I am positive that I will not be the only creator who will take their streaming to another platform. Even if all platforms start using streams to train their AIs, us creators will do our thing, and create a tool to stream on our own and find streamers. I may consider staying with Twitch if the feature is implemented and opt-out by default, but if it is implemented otherwise there is no question.

I will be cancelling my Twitch Turbo if AI is forced onto the users/streamers of Twitch.

GenAI eats itself and is more hassle than it's worth. It wastes money and resources. We cannot afford constant data hoarding.
Human interaction wins more than genslop data

AI is hemorrhaging money by the day and creatives (streamers) are staunchly against AI. Tools are used by consent and are not for **** organ harvesting operations like this AI training nonesense. Keep opt out by default.

I would rather not have to use AI. DO NOT TRAIN ON MY STREAMS

I have recently been trying to get into streaming on Twitch again. I can promise you that if streams are used to train AI that I will not be returning to Twitch.

Keep AI out of twitch! I don't care if I've been on a hiatus, this is such a terrible choice from twitch higher ups. You were already cutting payouts and other stuff building bad-will with your creators, do not kill off your platform entirely by training our streams on AI. DO NOT KILL TWITCH, THIS WILL KILL THE PLATFORM!

In my experience, AI makes everything worse. Even if it were trained to a point where it could consistently output something decent, it's not worth the energy used training and engaging with AI. If AI is so good, let it stand on its own merits. Make the features opt-out by default and let those that want to participate opt-in. Or better yet, don't train or incorporate AI at all. Otherwise, I'll take my time and money elsewhere.

If Twitch actually follows through with this, it will be an obvious and blatant attempt by Twitch to steal content from real people so they can just use "AI streamers" owned by Twitch to fill their platform. Twitch already has a license to use all content on their platform. This would be a step even further to steal from creators. If they do not offer any sort of opt-out features, and continue their trend of ignoring the safety and security of streamers in favor of the almighty dollar, it will end up causing the entire platform to fail.

Twitch will never make another cent off of me or anyone I know if it institutes this garbage, genuinely worth boycotting for them to even consider broaching the subject. Twitch is an absentee landlord already, do something about the ai spambots, don’t take their side

I do not wish to participate in a community where the content I produce or interact with feeds generative AI, or is a result of its processes. I support human content, by humans, for humans. I also understand that a majority of people, and therefore your audience, holds a similar stand against generative AI: you only just need to see how games fare between those which used it and those which didn't. As such, I, and many other paying users are ready to leave the platform should features using AI be mandatory in any way.
Let these features be opt-in for those who really want to use them. Don't try to force it on us, lest you wish to force us out. It's as simple as that. -

I cannot properly put into words how bad of an idea this would be. Twitch already has precious little goodwill to spare with its user base, this will only serve to torpedo whatever is left.

Do NOT steal from the content creators on your platform or you will soon find yourselves without one. AI is an ecological and ethical disaster. STAY AWAY FROM IT

As a streamer, I hate the idea of having AI. I don't want AI anywhere near me, my streams, my followers, or my friends. We don't NEED AI, NONE of this needs AI, we've never needed AI before and we most certainly don't need it now.
That being said, if it IS forced on it, the default should be Opt Out. It should be OUR CHOICE to use AI, not sprung on us where we need to go digging around for the Opt Out.
