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.

Do not allow Amazon to use twitch to train AI! Artificial Intelligence is an evil system used to destroy our planet and erode our minds. Nothing good comes of this, and it makes me not want to use twitch anymore. Shame on you for even considering it

I'd rather get rid of AI entirely but I know that's impossible.
No one wanted this, needs this or asked for this so AT THE VERY LEAST, let us have the option to turn it off and I pray its not a fake "oh you turned it off but its still on actually" -

If you’re trying to get me to stop using your platform AI is exactly what will accomplish that.

Many people choose to watch Twitch over other platforms because of the authenticity the live experience provides. For a platform with such an authentic focus, especially one upheld by independent creators (artists making up a large portion of these creators), its extremely disappointing to hear about future shifts towards AI. Many creators have already left X, formerly Twitter, because of nearly identical integrations to Twitch's rumored changes. The difference X and Twitch is that more creators' livelihoods and main content funnels are deepy rooted within Twitch's ecosystem. Not being given an option to opt out would easily uproot a massive proportion of creators and their communities. Seeing that Twitch is already on a downward trend as it is, I fear for the staff making it worse with such a change.

b3n said it and these comments ever other angle. We deserve to have the CHOICE to not have our work harvested and used by an utterly destructive technology

My community is overwhelmingly anti-gen-AI (people don't like plagiarism machines, what a surprise), and twitch AI features drive people away from twitch and hurt my growth.
If twitch's goal is to empower communities to grow, the choice is obvious to keep gen AI away from its communities.

I've heard about this, and I most vehemently agree with the above. I do not and will never consent for my voice, likeness, etc. to be used in the use of generative a.i. slop creation or their training data.

To what purpose would data from streamers be used for anyway? I don't want generative AI on twitch. I want content made by people who have reasons behind their creative decisions, not content made by machines pulling from random samples to create a slurry devoid of purpose.

No AI at all by default. We don't want it, we don't need it, and we didn't ask for it. Tech and Social Media companies need to understand this, because we've been demanding not to have this forced on us for years now. And with how devastating AI data centers have been on PC gaming just with how much it has increased the price of computer parts, I would consider it the biggest betrayal to the audience that built the site for Twitch to go through with this.

Every A.I. feature that's ever been shoved in my face has ended up being pointless at best and has done NOTHING to help or enhance my user experience. They are often sources of dangerous misinformation and are an overall waste of resources. I would seriously consider not using Twitch if A.I. features became compulsory (or frankly, even offered at all).

There is absolutely nothing AI does that is worth the negative impact it has on practically every aspect of our world and lives.

Nobody wants this. I do not want any part of anything I do used to train AI. This is a platform I have been on full time for over a decade now and stupid decisions like this threaten that.

I would rather not have AI features at all. I will stop subscribing to channels, uninstall apps, and using it at all if yet another disgustingly unprincipled platform forces me and the creators who use it to jump through hoops to not have our work scraped to feed the plagiarism machine.
