I was considering returning to streaming again, but if Twitch goes through with this, I absolutely will not return. Nobody wants AI, and nobody especially wants their hard work to be exploited as training data for AI slop. Do better, Twitch.

I do not consent with our voices and likeness used to train ai!

yikes yikes yikes, what bleak news. Let us opt out of this mess!

Obligatory "Please, no" post

Personally I'd just rather not have AI features on twitch, this would make me heavily consider not streaming or using Twitch if this were to be forced onto me.

We do NOT want this at all. We do not consent to our voices being used by AI slop like this!

I have no delusions that anything I say or do would make the tiniest difference to Twitch's bottom line, but if they start forcing the slopmachine on content creators without giving us the option of opting out, I'm gone for good.

I will never stream on twitch again if this nonsense is enabled.

I know that Amazon would rather nuke everything they own before they even consider not using AI, so if they do decide to go ahead with this nonsense, then these features should force a disclosure that appears for any viewers so that people watching can be properly informed if the streamer is using any AI as well. It is just as much the streamers choice to use it as it is the viewers to engage with such features.

I was thinking about picking up streaming again, but this makes me not want to. I do not want AI features to be mandatory

i dont want any genAI features on twitch and i dont want all of our content to be fed into something stupid like this

Twitch, Amazon, et al... you need to seriously consider your position as companies and as corporate entities. Forcing these features upon your users, but more significantly, your creators is a further erosion of an already extremely fragile trust between you and the users of your services. Twitch is not the monopoly it once was, people WILL jump ship if they don't like where things are going.

Generative AI, drastic resource wasting aside, is a horrendous piece of technology that limits/destroys creativity, rewards theft, and would also open the door for misinformation and allow for targeted harassment on a massive scale.

Do not use any content on twitch to train any AI, and remove all existing generative AI content from the platform.

Nobody wants AI - get that into your skull. There is no money in it for you, and no value for any creator or viewer

What were you smoking to think this was a good idea twitch? Cause I want to stay far FAR away from it ty

Training Gen AI models on streamers only contributes to the erosion of the ability for us, as human beings, to be able to trust the things we see online with our own eyes. Twitch should not be participating in this at all, they should be the bastion of the opposition to such as every penny they make is from the effort of the people who livestream on their site.

There has always been the deal, unspoken or otherwise, that when we, the streamers make money off subs or bits they take a cut to keep the site we all use going. A symbiotic exchange.

Now, that is no longer enough. Twitch's C-suite wants to harvest our work FOR FREE without giving us a say in it, without anything in exchange for it. Just a quiet "leave if you don't like it" knowing that there are few other places for any of us to go to.

The least they can do is to Opt everyone out by default.

waste of resources, waste of time. totally against this.

Ai makes no sense on a platform like this, say no to AI

AI has no place in creative spaces.

The absolute contempt that corporations like this have for creatives is staggering. "Oh, but the pay you and you can use their platform for free". Yes, they pay, after they take their cut, which is, in a way, paying them for using their platform. The creators who bring in viewership and watch time to their platform are what make this site what it is, and using them to train what I can only assume is something that Amazon is hoping will replace the actual flesh-and-blood entertainers so they no longer have to pay them and can just have AI simulacra providing generated entertainment to their viewer base is nothing short of ghoulish behaviour of the highest degree.
