If Twitch has a microcosm of the respect they claim to have for the creators which make their platform possible, "optional and opt-out by default" should be the worst case scenario, and should strongly consider abolishing these plans altogether. Generative AI is built on theft.

Even the consideration of generative AI features is the epitome of tone-deaf. Good riddance.

Yea, If my voice, or likeness is used in AI training or held within the data sets. I would feel inclined to sue as it is an integral part of my identity. I also find it highly unethical to force agreements on the users base; seeing how Amazon and Twitch has hundreds of millions of users from around the world. It would make a lot of people litigious forced into agreeing Twitch/Amazon having use over a user's own produced content for AI training data. It seems like a gross misuse of power, and exploiting users on these platforms. A platform thats been established for a long time and became a integral part of many individuals routines and livelihood. Im aware that any content produced by an individual is automatically covered by creative commons.

The only people I watch on Twitch are artists. I've considered becoming a Twitch streamer to do art. If AI training becomes mandatory, default, or standard on this platform, I doubt any of the artists I follow will stay. I certainly won't. A little entertainment is not worth having a person's hard work and intellectual property violated.

If AI training and AI "features" are pushed through, they must be default set to Opt-Out.

Also, how would that work for all the video game streamers? Is every company agreeing to having their games used for AI training? Or are you only preying on artists and creatives?

As others have said, if it has AI, I'll say goodbye. And I'll take my money with me.

If genAI is forced upon me--including and *especially* if my streams are to be used for training said AI without my consent--I will simply stop streaming on Twitch entirely.

You have so much money, why do you need this?! Why steal from creators, you thieves?! Make it opt out by default. AI is disgusting

This must be opt-out by default if you intend to go through with it. Ideally, you would not do this and send a message that not everything on the internet is up for theft. AI has a resounding negative impact on nearly everything it touches, and it should not be part of Twitch's future.

Do you want the large majority of streamers to leave the platform entirely? This is how you lose the large majority of your creatives.

No AI features should be allowed on the platform. It is both a legal and copyright nightmare, not to mention the safety risks of theoretically generating streams via deepfake.

Please—almost no one, if anyone, wants these generative AI features. Please give us an option to disable everything related to AI in our accounts for those of us who don't want these features and don't want to feed the AI any further.

Twitch, no.

This has to be Opt-Out by default. ***** Ai -_-'

"Boy, people overwhelmingly hate AI, we better add it to every stream, so it can steal their content, not moderate it for years and years (See also hate raids, bots, racists, etc) and just make the dumbest decisions!"

I like streaming, but this is one **** of a way to make sure only sellouts use your platform.

All AI must be optional and default Opt-out. Just because we stream does not mean our content is up for grabs, free-for-all.

If forced AI scrapping goes through, goodby Twitch.

If you INSIST on having this AI feature on your platform, let us opt-out by default and give us options.

If you do add this feature. I will leave and delete my account.

We don't need AI
By doing this, you will be infringing on the copyrights of many content creators. At the same time, you are requiring us not to violate these rules.

Very few people actually like AI. Forcing your customers to engage with it will only convince us to take our business elsewhere.

I have to talk in business terms since money is the only way to convince you ghouls to not jeopardize the environment and the arts for a short-term gain.

Gen AI is horrible for the environment, functionally worthless and a money sink with no hope for revenue, this change will only make many (including myself) leave this platform, revert this change or at bare minimum make it opt-in.

If our data is being used for Ai training, I expect fair and equitable compensation to every streamer and user who is being used as a source for training data, not just for the data used but the profits made with any and all products rolled out based on that data.

But given that we live in a capitalist hellscape and this will never happen, the second I hear about AI training being a thing, I will delete my twitch account and seriously consider doing the same with my amazon one.

Opt out should be the default. Actually not having GenAI in Twitch at all should be the default.

i am sorry- they want to use people to train ai? no thanks. i like being human and i dont like the thought that any one can either use my voice to say things, my mannerism or my body.
