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.

I better be able to opt out of ALL generative ai training. You already take half of our sub revenue, give us meaningless sponsor opportunities for next to nothing and force us to run ads constantly just to make any kind of significant money while profiting heavily off ALL streamers. Without us twitch is nothing. No one should be forced to feed a machine that is actively destroying the environment, neighborhoods, creative fields and replacing peoples livelihoods with slop. We do not want this. Your shareholders will have no value if all of the value decides to leave your platform. Twitch is not too big to fail. Stop making moves that only benefit your bottom line and invest in creators. Because if twitch keeps moving the way they are there will be no creators left for you to profit off of.

I do not want or need AI on twitch, I enjoy streaming and hanging out with people playing games. AI has no place in that. It does not need the data generated from that to get better at what? Are you looking to replace streamers with AI so people are watching a fake streamer, with likely fake viewers, given all the bots still on twitch, so it would be you training AI off streamers and viewers to not have to pay real people or have real people on the site. AI is not the answer to every problem that doesn't exist. Leave it in the sciences where it can actually be helpful and out of creative spaces where the only people who want it are uncreative, lazy, fools who are jealous of the people who can actually do the stuff they don't want to put the time and effort into learning to do.

It takes a lot to get me to actually spend time to type out reviews or opinions, but liteally no one wants this. No one. The waste of money, energy, productivity is so much worse than anything gained from this training so we can have digital versions of streamers no one wants to watch.

Dude, you already pay us less than a regular employee, which for AMAZON is literally NOTHING. Put AI in? For what? For everyone to hate you and drop the platform? NO ONE WANTS AI... STOP FCKN PUSHING IT. GD corporates

The amount of things Twitch does to try to kill its own platform is insane. This will be the straw the breaks the camel's back.
Luckily, I can watch and support the streamers I watch elsewhere. With better encoding, bitrates, and video features in fact. Come to think of it... it seems like the reasons to stay on Twitch were already running thin. It was just about community, and you're about to kill that so... What a tone-deaf move to show your clearly don't understand your partners and audience.
Using or training AI on Twitch will be the end of it for me and many others.

I'm so tired... I can easily say that the data centers that AI uses to exist are the sole reason I gotta contend with my ****** old desktop as opposed to upgrading and I'm genuinely ready to watch every company that buys into it crumble. If they do wind up further parasitising their creators by scanning all streams into an AI, I'm out. I left Deviantart when they did it I'll leave Twitch too.

LLM training is very expensive and currently has a large negative return on investment, with no plan for profitability. This is burning money and will be used as an excuse to pay broadcasters even less.

Gen AI does nothing to enrich your product at all. Any self-respecting streamer on Twitch should oppose this.
Gen AI isn't a user "want", it's always a corporate "want. -

Nobody wants this. I’ve been streaming on twitch for 3 years consistently and it would suck to have to quit and go somewhere else after all my hard work, but I absolutely will. You DO NOT have my permission to use my likeness for AI training. Keep it the **** away from me.

I do not consent.
Opt-out by default is mandatory.

Absolutely not. You see how broadly rejected AI is around the Internet and now you wanna jump in on it? This would kill the platform.

no one want this, NO ONE, who in the right mind is pushing for this? You either want to kill the platform or you are surrounded by "yes man" there is no other alternatives.

If my streams are used to train AI then Twitchis dead to me. Have a good day.

Training AI on streamers implies very strongly that you are intending to *replace* human streamers, who are the bedrock of your company.
Features like this - if implemented at all! - should be defaulted to Opt Out, and be easy to remove if that's something the creator wants.

We DO NOT want nor need AI slop on the platform. If Twitch somehow decides against the better judgement of **** near the entire userbase that we needs this slop, every genuine creative on the platform will be disgusted and will be less willing, if not totally unwilling to ever spend money on the company.
There is a correct way to go forward.

This will literally kill the platform, so I guess go ahead if you're already looking to strip the copper piping out of the walls

Futurism.com reported that an investigation by Nikkei Asia found that "Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle (...) are hiding an estimated $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn’t appear on balance sheets".
AI is a terrible financial choice, as not only the costs outweigh the benefits but the results are actually terrible.
And finally, you will definitely turn a lot of viewers against you and that will cost you more.
Stop with the AI bull**** -

Twitch is successful due to the HUMAN interactions it facilitates & allows us to make on our platforms as Creators. AI has no place being apart of that. The connections I have with my community are not your AIs training modules, they are valued discussion & interactions with real people.

Please, I'd want to opt in or opt out of things individually, and for the love of all things please make the default Opt Out for all AI features so one can actually choose to opt in.
