real creators want to create. they don't want you to create for them.
twitch, please think carefully about what it means to be a platform for creators.

Was actually considering trying to start streaming this year but the recent news about Twitch using streams to train AI immediately made me reconsider. It also demotivates me to work on my setup preparation or any other ideas for streams if that work is going to be stolen to make some tool that will drain the power grid and won't even be useful.

AI especially GenAI is a violation of the copyright of every VTuber and creative on the platform; even if enabling these AI “features” were only optional, it would very likely be a reason for me to leave Twitch.

Training AI on our streams is probably the worst thing you could have announced. Nobody likes this. Everybody hates you for it. Dan Clancy I hope you're reading this and cancel this **** show before everybody hates you even more.

Streamers should have control over their own content, always. It's not freebie AI food.

This is a Bad Idea. Opt in might, MIGHT be acceptable, but training AI on Twitch streams is just a legal and moral quagmire.

How does a company watch months of creator and consumer backlash against any Gen AI AND THEN DO THIS?

From a creative perspective we can all agree it's absolutely disrespectful to any of your creators who do their best to entertain their chats, some things you profit from.

But even from a cynical business perspective. More and more clients realize that **** is expensive and not feasible so what uneducated people crypto bro is making your decisions???

You guys could be easily the **** heros of the social media and content creation seen just by being decent. The narrative writes itself.

stop that ********

The content made by the streamers should not be exploited without their consent, including to train AI. I hope they will be allowed to opt out (or rather, that opting out will be the default and those who want to subject themselves to this can opt in.) The creators who make this platform worthwhile deserve their work respected in this way. Every AI-related feature rollout has been unwelcome and unpleasant and this will be no exception.

What they said. AI is a blight on cratives and no one with a brain likes it.

AI is just theft. We don't want artists being robbed of their work.
Don't implement those AI features.

I will be unequivocal: if you by default opt-in streamers to AI training, and even if you communicate this as a ToS change, I will cancel subscriptions I have had for over 10 years and close my account.

Creators should always have absolute control over their own content and likeness. Make AI features and training require creators to OPT IN, not opt-out. I want to see assurances that none of these features will ever be a requirement. If you implement AI training and features that creators cannot opt-out of, I genuinely believe you will lose a not insignificant number of creators and viewers who have been extremely clear that they do not want to be used to train AI models.

i do not want my hard work fed into an ai machine without my permission

AI would be an awful addition to streaming. Not only does it harm content creators in a creative space, but it also costs way too much money to even make a profit from. I will gladly move platform if this is announced.

If you have no choice but to make this present, please allow me to opt out! I like using twitch and I'd rather not have GenAI scrape from my art streams...or my streams in general!!

AI should never touch any Art or creative space for humans in this way. If you want stream material to train your incompetent LLM's on then stream yourself and leave us out of it!

make it opt out by default or don't train ai on creators content to begin with. You already take half our earnings , training ai on creators is insulting.

no one wants genai "features" atall, they don’t want their work stolen or used without permission, and simply using a platform does NOT count as consent.

if they will be added and all feedback ignored then the bare minimum is they must be opt out by default.

If this will be implemented I will be gone and hope that the streamers will quickly find an alternative.
AI kills art, environment and jobs.

i rather have no AI feature at all
