If the further proliferation of AI tooling permanently and truly comes into being in the way being rumored, then I will be reconsidering whether or not I even want to stream on Twitch at all.

There is no place on Twitch for any AI training based on any streamer's videos or work. It is theft of their hard efforts, a stain on their creativity, and an insult to their independence to leave any such features on by default and to steal their work to use as part of some nebulous aim.

It does not benefit the platform, it does not benefit the streamers, it does not benefit their communities. Do not add it, and remove or opt everyone out of any such existing options. This is irresponsible beyond words.

We do NOT want any sort of generative AI on twitch. Generative AI is harmful for creators, artists, authors, and other creatives, as well as detrimental to our planet. Data centers are taking over people’s homes and neighborhoods, unhousing them, and using up so much water that people do not have water in their homes. This is unacceptable. And twitch should not be taking part in any of it.

Generative AI has no place in the entertainment industry. It doesn't allow someone to express themselves as it randomly generates soulless images based on existing material stolen from actual artists. Many artists or people passionate about art like myself do NOT want it implemented anywhere, nor do we consent to having our work being used to train AI models

Nobody wants this.

When we say opt out, we mean opt out.... not partly with it still actively listening (which has been proven to be a thing unfortunately).

There is no reason to be investing in the dumpster fire that is genAI which everyone has openly hated since it first came online for all its intrusive and thieving ********. Forcing it onto your users just gives them yet another reason to leave twitch for other platforms which are slowly starting to catch up and be near equal competition while twitch degrades itself further with each day.

Noone wants AI features. Noone wants to deal with messy, half-assed technology that makes everything worse. Noone, and I mean -noone-, wants their likeness, voice, and/or assets fed into a shredder of this technology that doesn't have any legitimate use in any of this.
And for the people making this decision: You are not only burning money, you are cutting off the site's income by alienating your user base like this.

Straight up: Do not force any AI into Twitch or it'll implode the site. The opt-out was already proven as fake.

No one asked for this, no one wants this. This is the degenerate brainchild of some CEO or Exec and that person needs to be fired. GenAI is the worst thing that has happened to humans and our culture since ******* WW2 and that's saying something. So much creativity was destroyed then and now we're just doing it again, just this time the Fascists are using GenAI to do it instead of concentration camps and the looting of culutural heritages. Not to mention, this destroys the environment as well. Do NOT add this and if you really have to due to pressure by some idiot CEO or Exec, make it opt-in and completely optional. I do NOT consent to my streams being used to train AI and if this is added as it's planned, I hope someone sues the **** out of yall greedy *****!

I don't stream very often, but I do NOT like the idea of using AI features on this platform AT ALL.
This is a BAD idea that is spelling out disaster if it happens.

genuinely, implementing any of these features at all is insane and makes me question if everybody running this site is some sort of thoughtless flesh automaton

Stop forcing AI features on us, no one asked for this. It's gross, it's uselessly destructive to the creative community and the environment, and once again... no one asked for it.

No one is asking for AI features except for corny C-suite losers and philistines with bad taste. I will straight-up stop streaming if I can't opt out of this trash.

I do not and will not consent to having my streams used in any capacity to train A.I.
I wish to feel safe and free to create my own stuff and enjoy doing it more for my audience.

Being opt-out means that the damage for these tools is already done just by existing on the platform. Streamers can't un-collect their data, they can't un-train your models, and they can't un-damage their reputation when people think they've used these tools on purpose.

If you continue to use shady opt-out only tactics, you are going to lose creators and audience members while spending more on these features than you'll ever get out of them.

Let your users, both streamers and audiences, tell you whether these features are actually the future of the platform by letting people opt-in if and only if they actually feel the feature is useful. Anything less than that will kill your platform while hiding the issues behind falsely inflated statistics.

Remove this garbage that Noone asked for and actively makes the literal world worse

It is frankly embarrassing that twitch is even considering doing this.

Yes! Make all ai features optional you dumb butts, people are going to actually leave and twitch will become more of a husk of what it is. Anyone who creates anything will KNOW your AI is ripping their the content they work so *******. So many ppl and communites have already left platforms that use AI to train data and we will leave twitch if you train ai on twitch content mandatory. Training AI truely just means stealing content. We all know it. So not giving creators an option to opt out of ai stealing their work is a deal breaker.

Twitch should absolutely not put ai here in the first place, this will push many streamers, and veiwers, off the platform!

This includes Amazon and Twitch planning to use streams to train AI, right? Because ***** that nonsense. Give your users a choice, make that choice clear with them, and allow them to make that choice instead of preemptively using their content without their consent.

Stop forcing AI features on us, no one asked for this. It's gross, it's uselessly destructive to the creative community and the environment, and once again... no one asked for it.
