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.

opt-out by default should be the standard for optional ai tools and features to give users a chance to actually consent. personally i'd love to not see ai features implimented at all but if it's gonna happen i wanna know i won't be signed up for it without realizing.

Let us opt out of genAI, or even better yet: DON'T USE GEN AI AT ALL!
Seriously, this is just a slap to the face for every creative on your site. You've already burned so much trust with your user-base. Do you really want to make things worse by implementing genAI features that very few people want? -

A platform build on user generated content selling that content without their consent, to people building technology wanting to make ur creators obsolete is just open betraial and disgusting. None of ur users will gain anything in quality with this. It is simply disgusting

Streamers and the companies who create the games own the content they make. Do not steal from them in the name of "innovation". It is harmful for creatives of all types, and is destroying our environment.

No one wants AI features or training. (Just look at what happened with grok: it’s being outlawed/sued in several states due to its egregious use for ***********.)
Like whats even the use of AI on a UGC platform if the marketing doesn’t reflect the UGC nature of it? It doesn’t make sense? Why make up something when you can use the original clip the of the person doing it?

remove all AI features, do not include AI features, nobody on twitch dot tv wants ai features for any reason at any point. any content posted on twitch dot tv should not interface with AI for any point or reason. mine or others.

Not only do we need to be able to opt out of being used to train AI. It NEEDS to be default. No one of the ******** where it's turned on from the start.

This is gross, I do not want any content I create used for anything related to AI, can we not do this? Even with an option to opt out, will that really do anything? How about we just scrap this whole idea? Surely there are better areas to focus on for twitch, AI shouldn't be one of them.

Twitch is THE place for creatives and independent creators.
Enforcing AI features is going to actively hurt them. -

Twitch seems to forget that they wouldn't even BE a streaming platform if content creators weren't willing to use their site. While they are the "big name" in a streaming platform, they aren't the only option. This may actually push other streaming platforms to jump on the opportunity and develop more user-friendly practices in order to appeal to content creators.

Generative AI has no place near creative spaces such as this.

I will never consent to any content I post or have posted on Twitch to be used to train AI.

aside from all the other issues that people have been stating here, ai is known to be used to generate sexually explicit material, sometimes of literal children. non consensual ai training is an actual safety and harassment issue, especially for larger creators who already have to deal with harassment. the fact that ai can be trained on people without their permission is extremely dangerous. opt out on all features should be the absolute bare minimum provided to creators. nobody's voice, face, or creative output should be trained on without their clear and informed consent, especially because of what it can be used for!!!

Against AI for all the environmental and societal damage it has caused! People are annoyed and tired that that AI is even being considered for almost every platform/ game when they don’t ask for it and don’t want it around in general! Be better and just keep it off the platform entirely

Nobody wants this and its going to make all of us leave the site. Especially artists and Vtubers, big or small. We don't want AI in anything!!

I had interest in streaming, but with upcoming "AI features" (read "massive data gathering update so we train a gen-AI model for free"), I have completely lost interest. And I'm sure some streamers will migrate in case these AI features are implemented.
Any and all kind of AI features shouldn't exist, or at the bare minimum, should be "opt-in" and not "opt-out". -

I do not consent to my Voice, Face or any aspect of my likeness being used for AI, I will have to stop using Twitch if this change goes through.

absolutely appalled that Twitch is even considering AI. As a creative streamer I won't be utilizing a platform that will steal from me and drought small communities with me regurgitated hard work
