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 and everyone else urge Twitch staff NOT TO implement nor train genAI our works on Twitch, there is certainly no place for that especially when streamers, including myself, showcase creative processes.
Implementing this will be severe kick in the teeth towards us. Therefore huge NO to genAI!

I don't want to stream on Twitch anymore if A.I. is forced upon us like that. If our content is taken and fed to A.I. like that without consent, I don't want any part of that.

Agreed. All AI training and functionality should at the bare minimum be opt in/out. However, many of us would prefer it isn't implemented at all.

This is so insane that you would even consider this, no one wants this AI ******** shoved down our throats. Buy hey, it's great idea if you want lose a bunch of money and clout once a shitload of people inevitably leave your platform.

Yeah I'm not and will NEVER be down to have my work in any form used to train gen AI. If I can't opt out, I'm just not using your platform.

If twitch were to integrate Gen AI in any form then I am likely to drop the platform as a whole as both a creator and a viewer.

sure add the huge money sink enterprise that garners nothing but ill will from your users into your already sinking ship, that's totally a good idea (sarcastic)
I refuse to be used to train AI and you must give us an option to OPT OUT or remove the thought of adding it entirely.

Should you implement or train gen A.i on Teitch, i will immediately drop the platform and stop all my paid subscriptions. I appreciate twitch streams for thehumanity and d9 not agree to share my likeness through my streams with any gen a.i slop.

no one in this platform actually wants any Gen AI, the AI generated icon for the art category is one thing but this is a step too far

I will not be used as training data for no A.I.
Keep these features to yourself and keep us streamers out of it. WE DON'T WANT IT

Implementation of any AI and LLM tools and data scraping is the biggest mistake you will ever make. I know there is no use trying to appeal to your humanity as you sold that a long time ago when you let Amazon acquire Twitch (how’s that going btw?), so instead I will speak to what you care about most, your wallet. If you do this, then the largest exodus will happen upon this platform. Not just viewers, but the streamers as well. The streamers who you will not get any content from anymore. There will be nothing for your pathetic AI BS to scrape from. Nothing new. Stagnation. No one to watch a soulless entity make nothing, therefore no one for you to steal money and data from to fatten your purse. Your platform will die a slow agonizing death as you bleed your banks dry for something no one wants, no one asked for. Without us the people, the creators and the viewers, you are nothing. You can stop this, you can prevent this from happening. Simply be human for once and ACTUALLY listen to the people who made this site what it is. Learn to be human again.

Do not implement it at all. Don't even consider it, especially if you're training your AI on streamed footage. It's on your platform, but you are very well compensated for that, keep the spirit of this arrangement alive and let the people who create content keep their content.
If they're there, Opt Out by Default. This is a feature you should have to turn on, not one you should stumble into and it shouldn't be a partial opt out of some features. Full opt out. All features.

Can someone please inform the higher ups and "shareholders" that there is not an infinite amount of money in the world and chewing up your users' stream data as training fodder for AI just to squeeze blood from a stone for another buck or two is an infinitely ****** thing to do.

Generative AI has no place on a streaming platform that promotes creativity and claims "artists are the backbone of the community" extremely disappointed in this platform. This is a slap in the face to EVERY streamer on twitch.

Generative AI actively feeds off of other people’s creations without consent. Almost all streamers on your platform dislike this decision and would not like their content / creation feed into AI.
As a viewer I value human content, and will always choose it over AI. If this decision goes through there will be mass exodus of streamers who don’t want their work to be exploited for AI, and viewers who are against AI.
Obviously losing people who make content for your platform and the people who consume said content is bad for business, you are potentially sacrificing your platform / your credibility as streaming platform for a technology that is either hated, or that just exists to people, very few people actually truly like generative AI.
If anything give creators the option to fully opt out of having their work be used to train off AI so that creators can have a choice rather than forcing people into feeding their work into AI.
