A lot of streamers have said they will leave if this happens. PLEASE LISTEN TO THEM

Y'all gotta remember that you get your money from people using your service, and nobody who didn't waste their money investing in this "ai" snake oil wants anything to do with it. Just accept it was a failed investment and move on.

Absolutely positively do NOT force me to use AI on your site. I will immediately move on to other places if I must, but this is a hard line for me and many others. Opt out by DEFAULT is the least you can do.

NO AI. PERIOD. This is how you will lose a large part of your creators AND audience. Twitch is literally kept alive by humans, don't give a big slap in the face to them by using them to train AI to produce slop nobody wants to watch. Disgusting idea

I will never use Twitch again if they make the whole platform into an AI training mill and scrape our data without our consent. This is unacceptable. Generative AI doesn't belong in CREATIVE spaces, period.

Twitch already takes more and more money. Don't steal the content too.

I rather just not bother with using Twitch anymore if they're gonna poison it with AI.

Don’t use your users to train Gen ai. This is going to end your platform. I reject this idea and will leave the platform if there’s no other choice to protect myself.

Previous experiments, such as the AI generated cover image for the Art category as well as the AI generated emotes, have demonstrated that Generative AI technology is fundamentally incompatible with the platform’s userbase. The strength of Twitch as a platform comes from the connection people make with the broadcaster, whether it’s a live event, someone playing a favorite game with an interesting twist, or even a fish playing a game in real time. Generative AI, despite what it will tell you when prompted, doesn’t allow for those connections to be made, to say nothing of the other destruction it causes.

I understand the perceived need to stay technologically relevant, and the tech industry as a whole is pushing itself further and further towards AI. However, it is doing so against the wishes of, and in many cases to the detriment of, the people who use these services and platforms.

The least you could do is ask for permission ahead of time, rather than for forgiveness once the bubble pops.

Utterly disgraceful that we even need to talk about this as it should never even be considered in the first place! Let us be creative without using us for garbage training. I don't want to be part of this and nobody else does!

Using streamers to train AI shouldn't happen. Let people make things themselves, not a water-sucking plagiarism machine.

I have had someone feed my content to AI in order to create a sexual chat bot without my consent. This "tool" is only going to make that process even easier, and the fact that I will likely not have any control over this is honestly terrifying. If this is forced upon me, I will likely consider alternative streaming platforms.

I do not want any form of my likeness fed into a slop machine.

********! ******** for even THINKING about this! What the ******* is WRONG with you!?

NOBODY WANTS THIS!

NOBODY WANTS ANYTHING TO DO WITH AI!

STOP ******* FORCING IT INTO ******* EVERYING

i am DONE with being ******* POLITE OVER THIS ********!

********!

Yeah, this needs to be OFF by default, but that won't happen...

**le sigh**

I don't WANT to have to find an Alternative to Twitch AND Discord in the same year, Fam...

Adding Ai to this would dis interest a lot of people from this website that put hours into this website knowing their setups, work, can just be copied to a AI and train it for some slop features

Can we just stop implementing AI things that no one asked for and no one wants?

You can't train GENAI when your platform is based on creativity, art and stuff like this. It's completely against it's nature and what you will end up doing is losing all the people here. Please stop forcing AI on everything.

I absolutely do not want ai to have any part of my content, thats absolutely not okay! As a vtuber I have worked with real artists and I refuse to be a part of using ai or training it! If this is going to happen then they definitely better have an opt out option.

Twitch is already insufferable with all the ads you keep pushing, we don't need any further enshittificafion of it

In what world do you believe it’s right to force more AI training on us? When your platform is upheld by creators - the majority of whom are very against AI. I am very against the implementation of AI training on our data in any way, shape or form. If you’re going to do it regardless of public sentiment at least have the decency to make it opt - in, not opt - out.
