By design, livestream content is about human interaction. AI cannot simply "replace" that inherent nature. Do not implement AI training or its results on this platform, as it has no value to both the platform and consumer.

In the past even trying to implement generative AI emotes got Twitch backlash, the technology is broadly unwelcome in creative spaces. At absolute most the default should be automatically "opt out", and preferably "No AI training or features at all".

Stop inserting ai into platforms after we have already been using them for years

Please allow us the opportunity to not continue with AI support regarding our content. Yes Twitch is the platform but it's built off the people that stream. To take that choice away from the people that make Twitch what it is is to disregard the roots and the human aspect. We should not have to agree to terms regarding AI when it's clearly not benefitting humans or this planet enough to offset its toll.

Hey. Don't even ******* consider to do that ****. Why would you even think that would be an idea worth considering. Nobody wants this. Why would you think Gen AI would help you, HOW WOULD THAT DO ANYTHING FOR STREAMS. You would just sell us our content for a cheap penny. Either make it entirely optional and disabled BY DEFAULT or Don't ******* Even Do It At All.

This is such a backwards decision being made. Aside from just being HORRIBLE tor the environment, forcing creators to be okay with their content being FED into AI against their will is insane and evil. Guaranteed if this happens and we have no way to opt out, and its not OFF by default, Twitch is going to lose THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of its streamers over night.

Aside from not wanting my voice or my likeness available to a.i.; as an artist, having any of my content fed into the a.i. machines is not only disappointing, but damaging as well. Forcing a.i. onto people constantly has been degrading trust in all industries, especially in the art world. Having the option to "opt-in" if you want is a much better practice. Trying to trick people into it, by having it on by default and manually having to "opt-out" is quite disgusting and feels like a breach of trust from twitch to the creators.

You're going to steal people's content to create slop. This idea is terrible, and so are the people who conceived of it. Why are you actively trying to kill your own platform

Users need to be able to opt out!
They already make money off of all the streams on the platform, they take the biggest cuts possible from all income and now they also wanna use me and my audience (small as it is) to train an AI without even asking me?
Come on. Let us opt out, we do not want this, we do not consent to this ****!

If Twitch implements this, I'm moving my streaming elsewhere permanently. There is no value to Gen Ai, and making it so your entire service scrapes the content of every streamer and trains Gen Ai WITH OR WITHOUT their consent is insanity.

There is absolutely no reason to be getting into generative ai in any medium or on any platform - this forced push to make it "IN EVERYTHING" is a nonsensical corporate drive to make something that nobody wants into something that can finally turn a profit.

Stop investing in Gen Ai and start investing in actual humanity.

No one wants their streams to be used for AI training, if this ends up even becoming an option I hope they're ready for this website to go empty and bankrupt.

Yes! (Twitch shouldn't feed streams to AI at all!)

Feeding the work of creators on Twitch into AI slop engines without consent is a betrayal of the very people who make up Twitch. Not to mention AI is expensive, losing money, and the bubble could pop at any time. If you have money for AI, don't you have money for paying streamers more?

AI is also an ethical nightmare. Theft at its core, used for surveillance, creating serious security issues, exacerbating wealth inequality, scams and misinformation, environmental destruction, massive carbon emissions in a climate crisis, massive water use even in the very communities that are under water restrictions for daily necessities. If you care about the wellbeing of people, Twitch and the communities on Twitch, you will not force AI on us.

Twitch should not be using AI at ALL. There should be no touching that poisoned well. Don't use people's streams to train AI models, don't use comments, don't use ANYTHING because the entire endeavor is untrustworthy, morally bankrupt, environmentally disastrous, and aligned with the worst people on the planet. I won't get anywhere near Twitch if it does this.

ive been thinking about trying again to get into streaming... now that ive heard they're doing this, perhaps not

AI is so incredibly harmful in so many ways, including to the creative community which is a huge majority of the platform. The fact that you even consider adding AI features at all is insulting and just shows that you don’t actually care about your creators. You’re going to lose so many people if you keep going this route and not listening to people who actually care and use this platform as a place of comfort, fun and a place to build a real community.

If you DO “have” to add all these features, please make it so everyone is already opted out and you have to opt in.

Let users opt-out! The only people who want this are stockholders, not actual streamers or creators!

I agree, please do nor force GenAI onto streamers, do not automatically use streams and chat to feed Gen AI as we do not want that. Please make the default option to be opted out of GenAI features.

The fact that we have to vote for such thing in the first place.. I don't want my stuff to be used for AI training!

*******

This is deeply disappointing and upsetting. I have plans for a years long streaming project and was planning on using Twitch for this, but if I'm not able opt out of ANY AND ALL sorts of AI integration, I might just have to look for a different streaming platform.
