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.

This needs to be opt out by default, or the platform will actually be unusable. Not even just morally- most streaming assets on vgen and the like ban training AI as part of their T&C. Streamers would need to completely revamp their setups to stay compliant.

opt out by default at the minimum. Best idea for twitch is to NOT move forward with alienating their creators and consumers even more so than they already have over the last few years. Majority of people don't ever want their likeness in any capacity used by companys without their knowledge or consent. Adding this with no way to opt out or disable is a quick way to lose so many people

I'm out of Twitch. Get off this platform. They just want your maximum money and now more than ever to have maximum personal information about you.

As an artist and as many others said, content creators do not want to be used for AI training.
There is a place for AI somewhere else to make mundane things easier, but this is not it. -

Please give all creators the choice whether or not they choose to be a part of this.

This is poison to a platform of creatives. You're stealing people's content to feed it into a woodchipper that produces a steady stream of pure liquid manure. People will say it should be off by default and opt-in, but frankly do not do it at all. There is no ethical way of doing this. Go all the way back under your rock and leave people and their creative output alone.

I do not want my favorite voices and faces on this platform to become some Frankenstein's monster that's less than the sum of its parts. If this takes effect, it would be an unreal overstep of boundaries. No one asked to be a part of this AI ridiculousness and no one should be forced to.

The majority of people, if they knew about this and it was communicated up front very publically, would be against AI being trained on their content. WE DONT MAKE CONTENT FOR YOU TO TRAIN SOME JOKE AI SYSTEM, WE MAKE IT FOR REAL PEOPLE.

Implementing generative AI against creators' will is deeply troubling and disrupts the overall message that is given to creators: be yourself and your community will find you.

Implementing this on twitch AT ALL is dubious entirely, but please allow people the option to opt out.

I absolutely do not consent to my voice and image being used to train A.I. You're already making plenty of money off our efforts, and this is just naked greed being forced on us as some kind of "benefit". NO A.I. on Twitch!
This will drive creators and viewers off the platform. Read the **** room.

Opting out should be the default option.

Assuming the rumors are true, the obvious conclusion would be that Twitch is no longer a site that wants streamers on it and that I should instead do my business elsewhere.

If you asked 1000 of the streamers on your platform if they want to be AI training, 999.5 would say no. Streamers are the reason the platform exists, without them - no viewers - no ad money.

Nearly every streamer in some capacity is streaming something they do not own. Music played, game streamed, overlays and assets made by other artists who may not even be on Twitch who didn't agree to this, I could go on all day about how this is just theft plain and simple. I want absolutely nothing to do with generative AI and I absolutely do not want to be training it.

For me and plenty of other creators this is the line in the sand that we will not concede to. If this is implemented without an opt out button at the bare minimum we will jump ship to other platforms to stream.
Twitch is a platform made by people for people!
