This is the exact playbook on how to lose customer goodwill. Monumentally stupid decision, do better Twitch.

If Twitch continues down this path, I will stop using the platform in its entirety and encourage everyone I know to do the same.

You tout yourselves as being a platform for creators, for once you should start acting like it.

AI is bogus and you know it, which is why you have an estimated $180B hidden debt for it 😬

This is by far and away the worst mistake Twitch will ever make. No one in their right mind wants this. If what they want is the total death of platform and bankruptcy, by all means, this is the way to go.

NO AI!

No AI

This does nothing for the people who love twitch. This is only for the owners and elites that want to push more and more AI onto the content creators who don't want this. Its an evil movement and shame on the twitch company for "MAYBE" letting people opt out of it. Tell us your real motivation or we can go somewhere else.

I'm here for humans, and content made by humans. This shouldn't be a feature AT ALL! If this is going to be added (which it shouldn't) you should not be opted in automatically, it should be something you willingly have to go out of you way to turn on
But it just shouldn't be a feature. AI has no right to be part of something that's absolutely people first.

It was bad enough to force ads down our throats. Now, you want to force AI? If there's not a way to opt out of this by default, don't expect myself and a host of others to be a part of this platform again.

There is no place for generative AI on Twitch. It is harmful to both creators and the environment alike. Creators should be given the choice to opt out of AI features, and to not be opted in by default.

I don't want to any of the content I make to be used for AI training and I'm pretty sure a large portion of the creators and users of Twitch don't want anything AI related things on the platform.

If Twitch absolutely has to add AI slop to their site, then it should be something that users have to opt in for, so it isn't forced on them.

I came to Twitch to make friends and entertain people; not to lose the autonomy to the entertainment I create nor my own voice or likeness. The fact that we're opted in AT ALL on this is disgusting. The more I see people bend the knee to AI the more I lose faith in humanity. Please stop forcing us to have to deal with generative AI. This shouldn't even be a question. Not to mention I don't want my content to be used to train models housed in AI Data Centers that are now becoming so large and abundant they displace entire communities of people and poison their drinking water. No thank you.

If my streams are being fed into the plagarism machine I am, at the very least, no longer streaming art and looking for the first opportunity to jump ship to a platform that holds at least a miniscule amount of respect for their users.

Every moment I am forced to see the offensive generations of so called AI makes my day measurably worse and I will not take part in it.

Insane to think this would be a good idea and something widely accepted, I dislike the idea of it being in the platform in general let alone something that wouldn’t be off by default.

A huge blow to trust, and I expect, to traffic if implemented. Should be opt-out at bare minimum and ideally not implemented at all. Hey investors: This is a poor business move that will drive away both content creators and users, this is not a bubble you want to throw money at.

We don't want this!

We deserve, no DEMAND that AI does NOT belong on Twitch or anywhere else at all. Ever.

Being AI-free is a selling point & if Twitch wants to be forward-thinking, they should get ahead on that trend.

I really wish companies would stop trying to force feed people AI in the hopes it'll make them boatloads of money while stealing from creators. I recall Instagram trying a move like this. There was such a public outcry in opposition they removed an AI "feature" days after they released it.

Read. The. Room. Twitch.

I’m certainly hoping this idea only lasts as long as “chanting” did, Please refrain from Pushing AI into every possible space we have especially creative spaces like Twitch - it simply does not belong.

And if you need me to rephrase this for the investors out there… Y’know theres research floating around out there that is saying the mere mention of AI drives away 60% of customers, leaving you with maybe 40% of traffic you could have had if you hadn't tried pushing it at all!
So How about we just dont?
