Any AI feature that isnt optional will be met with insane pushback. The only reason companies make these features on by default is to attempt to get people to use features they never would in hopes that they'd get returns on their terrible investment. No one on this or any creative platform wishes to have their work or art able to be stolen and used without their permission!

Hey, so, using streams to train generative AI is genuinely messed up. Especially if you plan to be 'transparent' as you claim. Make this something users can opt out of. Or, better yet, don't make it a thing at all please and thank you.

No gen AI!

No GenAI at all.

Do you not realise that people will leave your platform if you add AI?

Most of us are streaming on Twitch to have fun with our friends, and y'all get to have revenue from ads and subs. If, in your relentless quest for revenue growth, you keep adding extractive ****, make it harder and harder to just have fun here, and force AI that makes streaming here an immoral choice, then you've gotta understand that we're gonna decide to actually have fun somewhere else. ...not that I expect anyone with decision making power at Twitch / Amazon to read or for two seconds thoughtfully consider feedback from the people their business actually relies on. But I'm just sayin...ya could exercise real discretion and decide to do something that doesn't absolutely suck. Twitch used to do cool **** sometimes.

No. Absolutely not. In no world do I consent to this. I make pennies per stream as it is, but now all of a sudden, my content is going to be scraped for value for an ai, none of the value of which will come to me? You know no one wants this. Shame on you. I do not consent to my content being used to train ai.

I will not use your platform if you force gen ai on it.

You say you strive to be transparent, and yet you're installing an opaque system that will blind us without our consent.

You say you support artists and their talents, and yet you want to implement a malicious system proven to blatantly pillage and plagiarize their hard work.

You say you want to promote our authentic content, and yet you wish to use an artificial system that will push "authentic" content that lacks the soul, ethos, and integrity of what we do.

You say - sorry, "carefully word" - one thing, Twitch... and yet the context speaks otherwise - and in volumes to boot.

Implementing generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and forcing it upon us (without even offering a 100% opt-out option by default) is probably one of the worst ideas this company can/will implement.

There's shooting yourself in the foot - and then there's this.

This is the equivalent of telling us that the obviously spiked drink you're trying to serve us isn't poisonous - and then drinking it in front of us in a feeble attempt to prove us wrong.

We know it's poison. You know it's poison. You know the consequences of using poison - and yet you've strapped us onto a table and are getting ready to waterboard us with it anyway.

You do this, and your userbase will die - and with it, you. What was once considered a mighty mountain will crumble into oblivion, blown away by the winds of time.

(And don't try to "Princess Bride" your way out of this - iocane powder is a far simpler toxin to endure than GenAI.)

But what do I know? I'm just a sad, little Affiliate who just wants to see genuine people do real things on the Internet - and if we're really, really, lucky: these genuine people will grow to create an authentic legacy that will extend your existence in a positive direction.

...but if your objective is to be a sad, little king on a sad, little hill - then by all means: do this toxic thing. Inject GenAI on your platform. Watch your virtual oasis visited by millions transform into a digital uncanny valley viewbotted by the very algorithms used to promote "real" content.

Choose your legacy, Twitch.

Yeah it's would be completely obscene to force this on creators. They probably shouldn't be training AI with streams from the jump, but at MINIMUM it should be opt out by default.

No GenAI on twitch period. Don’t let AI steal from creators

This isn't a warning so much as an observation of what will occur, because let's be real: if you knew anything about your community, you never would have made this move in the first place.

This move will destroy Twitch as a platform.

By even suggesting this feature, you have eradicated any trust you had from the community. Even if you backpedal on everything AI, we will forever be watching with our eyes peeled for anything that looks too smooth or conceptually homogeneous, if we even continue watching at all.

The fact is, your transparent attempt to force this upon us by leveraging your near monopolistic position will fail.
You think you have us by the balls because so many of us rely on your platform for income, but what's going to happen is viewership will crash, the streamers will disappear to other sites, other jobs, and/or poverty, and you will be left with a shrunken husk of a service populated by nothing but techbro sociopaths, their mindless sychophants, and a giant ant farm of useless bots clogging up your servers congratulating each other.
You know, like Twitter.

I do not consent to my content being used to train ai. Do not use my content to train Ai. I don't want Ai to even interact with my content in any way.

Absolutely not. The audacity to even suggest scraping creators to feed AI is so tone deaf it's absurd. Kindly **** right off.

Using other's content to train AI sucks! Please for the love of content and art don't add it. Besides adding AI at all is a business killer, and a waste of money!

Why the good amount of the Creators on twitch is against AI in gen

Gen-AI is the killer of creativity!

If someone wants to train AI they must go and activate it. Making it by default is a bad choice

Nobody wants AI features except the business idiots who run the platform

This has got to be the most ridiculous and most stupid idea i have ever seen this is not need! This will never be needed! what this will do is kill the platform!
