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 don’t want AI being trained off of my streams, there shouldn’t be any AI involved on Twitch in the first place.

Given the whole purpose of AI is to steal, recycle and take away all meaning from human-created media - this is going to cause a mass wave of streamers leaving the platform if it goes through. For proof look at Party Animals, which lost its entire community overnight simply for running an AI video competition and hasn't recovered since.
Now imagine doing the same on a platform that's 100% driven by content creators. The key is in the "creator part". You add AI, you will lose not only your viewers who refuse to support it, but the people keeping your site alive. That trust is going to be impossible to get back and an alternative will inevitably take your place.

Stop the slop, whatever data you get out of the streams will be completely worthless even without a lot of users finding ways to actively poison your well.

I don't want any AI involved in the streams I watch, I don't want you to use the people on your platform for your own ends.

I honestly can't think of a more efficient way to drive users away from your platform in droves than forcing their work into The Plagiarism Machine.

DO put it to opt out. I feel REALLY uncomfortable for them using my stream including my voice for training AI. I actually don't want ANY AI features if possible but Opt Out is a MUST, guys. Especially in the EU. Give the people a choice FIRST.

You know we hate AI **** on the platform. STOP before you alienate even MORE of your userbase than you already have with this forcing AI down our throats.
Or at least make ALL of the features Optional & Opt-Out by default!!! If people want this so bad they can take the time to opt in, the rest of us shouldn't have to deal with it for their sakes. {which shocker, its probably 2 people on the platform that would actually want the feature compared to the millions of us who DONT want the features!!}

If you use streams to train AI ********, or use AI generative ******** in any way, I will delete my account and tell everyone I know to do the same. This is stupid and unfair and disgusting to all the creators that actually do something and utilize their own human creativity.

Your site is fueled by users' passions. This partnership is an insult, and allowing your creators efforts to be stripmined exposes your contempt for those who have built your company.

AI is a toxin that has ruined any platform that has embraced it and forced it upon their user base. the only feedback I’ve heard from streams with the “AI Summary” in chat is abject disgust with it. this is so much worse than that already horrible feature.
If you’re truly going forward with this baffling decision, I really hope you do so in a way where Opt-Out is the minimum. This should be a feature that you have to sign off on and Opt-In for. if it’s enabled by default and we are unable to turn it off I will start watching streamers’ YouTube feeds instead and will likely have no choice but to pivot to YouTube myself.

Hey twitch, if you wanna use the Thief Machine made by the billionaire fascists that is very quickly killing our planet, you go right ahead.
But don't you DARE drag us into it.
This is how your company dies. Not with a bang, but with the rushing of water and an abandoned website, inhabited only by the low-rent quebblekop rip-offs.
I'd tell you to stop, but you have never listened to your users anyway. Just know that using AI will be what kills you. And no one will care.

AI is a money, resource and quality sinkhole.
Everything that has touched AI has become more expensive, wasted resources and become such **** quality it LITERALLY killed companies.
So NO AI ON THE PLATFORM AT ALL!!!!

Myself and many others do not agree with AI and want nothing to do with it. It has no place in the future. All AI has ever done is cost more and more money. Profits from AI do not exist.

AI is failing. it does not make money. The majority of end users strongly reject AI.
These companies will fall, their AI services will close, and you will find yourself forced to remove AI far sooner than you think.
Meanwhile you need streamers for your platform. If you do this, they will flee here for other platforms, to the delight of your competitors Kick and Youtube. You will suffer a crippling loss of talent that is unlikely to return when you are inevitably forced to remove the AI from your system.
You are about to deeply harm your platform for no gain. The choice is clear: Do not take this course of action. Reject AI now.

Generative AI is insidious and unregulated. Stop trying to shove it down our throats at every opportunity.
