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.

As a streamer of 5 years, if I stop streaming, it will be because I have decided that asking people to hang out with me on Twitch is doing more harm to myself and the group than good. Every new "feature" feels like a new way for Amazon to train or test a new AI enshitification/ad attention demand to see how much they can get sap out of Twitch.

GenAI is a plague and an affront to human creativity and ingenuity. As a creative myself I wholeheartedly oppose any inclusion of it in creative spaces. Your slop machines are a money sink for a reason. No one wants it, no one needs it, and it deserves to be taken out back, shot, then buried in an unmarked grave and never spoken of again.

AI should be nowhere near a creative endeavor like Twitch. This needs to go, not just for the safety and comfort of Twitch's users, but for Twitch and Amazon to avoid potential liability.
Many streamers on Twitch are professional actors and public figures that maintain strict legal control of their likeness and WILL bring legal action against involuntary repurposing of that likeness.
End this now.

Using the voice or content of a creator is content thief and breach of fair use and copyright of the streamers brand and voice. Advice don't add this feature you will loss more than just streamers but profits like you have done since 2021 think about the creators on your platform and make the correct choice.

AI is a disaster : it has a huge negative impact on the environment, on our societies, people lose their jobs, lose access to water and electricity...
It is also an insult on human creativity. Humanity's love of art is also a love for the process of it. To remove ourselves from the creation is to remove ourselves from humanity. Profit is not worth it.
I do not and will never consent to my art, my voice, anything I create being used to train AI. No one should have to jump through hoops to make that right heard. Consent is not "you didn't say no therefore you said yes". Consent is actively saying yes, and I don't, and "no" should be the default answer. -

Remove the AI completely. All it does is steal and destroy our environment as well as raising electricity costs for everyone else!

You shouldn't have Generative AI in here to begin with. Generative AI doesn't create, it steals and warps what people have already made so someone else can pretend they made it themselves. The very definition of a content thief. Worse, it does this while actively harming our planet through data centers. Generative AI is nothing but a parasite and should be treated as one.

Gen AI is a scourge both environmentally and ethically. I wholeheartedly reject any sort of application of it. I reject using Twitch streams to train models. No to all of this.

At LEAST give us the choice. Better to make it the default, better yet to launch the idea into the sun.

Twitch, if you do this, we're all leaving. Not even a choice? How crude and thoughtless.

Implementing AI scraping of videos to give creepy stream summaries is bad enough, I haven't heard anyone speak of this in positive lights or enjoy it. As a consumer, I've already cancelled my Twitch Prime. Pushing this idea further will drive me further away from the platform.

Forcing more AI and its usage down our throats is not it. We shouldn't be opted in if we don't want it. Be better Twitch.

I want absolutely nothing to do with any AI features, data scraping, or otherwise participating in any harvesting of mine or any others personal information for AI purposes. AI is a cancer on this planet and your consideration of using it proves how out of touch you are for the sake of greed.

I'll cancel my subscriptions. Genuinely. No turbo, no other subs. I'll make all my payments to streamers on ko-fi instead. The purpose of AI is to steal from creators and create imitations of their content for free. I will NEVER pay for any service that requires AI.
