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.

Default to opt-out or, even better, don't bother implementing these features at all. I will not use them.

When are you stupid dopes going to understand your clients ******* hate this worthless tech that does nothing but waste not only the planet's resources, but YOUR money as well? Would it kill you to finally listen to your userbase's feedback just for once? This is a guaranteed way to lose a portion of not only our streamers, but those who regularly contribute to traffic by watching. Roll that **** back or go broke. *****!

I feel uncomfortable when I here that places want to use people without there consent to train AI. I don't care if there is an Opt Out feature, it should never be a thing in the first place.

Many have commented already on why this would be such a slap in the face for all your creators. Go away with your genAI ********, we don't want anything to do with it!

Es un abuso contra el creador y el consumidor. Intenta automatizar el contenido con material previo, sin permiso, y vendérselo a quienes llevan años haciendo uso de la plataforma.
No queremos IA, es simplísimo. -

I will stop giving money to this platform if you continue using AI.

I had plans to resume streaming in early 2027 but I will never use Twitch to stream ever again if AI is going trained off of my voice and my words as an official in-house policy. I do not consent to that and will never consent to that.

Why do we want gen AI in our content, to even be stolen, when the whole point of being a creator, is being creative and a person one can relate to?
So we want to steal the whole essence, everyone wants to be unique and creative in their own way. i rather have one stream per week, that has insane values of creativity and a person i enjoy supporting, rather than multiple channels running constantly, no one bats an eye on.
Like come on, we want to be able to OWN our content, not just give our hard work away just so others save time in making content.
Give this whole idea a hard pass, if you want to stand out as a website nowadays, rather than succumbing to your own downfall. -

Not just optional, non-existent and fire every single criminal involved in trying to implement it.

No generative AI training. Stop ruining the environment to train AI to copy people's hard work and ruin their livelihood. No one asked for this. You will lose users and streamers.

Who asked for that???? No creator, no viewer wants this, only evil, greedy, inhuman corporations.
I hope regulators will catch up soon. Before they do - be ready and have everything Opt Out. -

Generative AI serves nobody. Not even the CEOs/Corps using it, who think they'll save money and make bigger profits from it.
I don't know if I can articulate this right (brain fog is a helluva *****), but in short:
Using AI will LOSE you sales. That's it. There's no gain.
The only people who will go see your movie, buy your game, etc, are people who either don't care about AI, or don't know it's been used. No one's gonna invest in your product because you used AI.
But thousands of us, who would've purchased otherwise, sure as **** won't if you use AI.
That's thousands of sales you just lost, and a company/brand you've tarnished forever.
And the more people discover your use of AI, your preference for cutting corners instead of hiring real people, all in an attempt to line your own pockets, the more sales you'll lose over time.
And even those who didn't mind/know about the AI use in the beginning, will start to tire of you sloppy work, unfinished/broken products, and shop elsewhere too.
****, even if you perfect the quality of AI products, you'll still not regain those that left because of it's use. We're not just out because it's sloppy.
Meanwhile, those who continued to employ real people to do real jobs and deliver real products, will be rolling in the sales you threw away.
Because, in contrast, they WILL gain sales through the refusal to use AI.
Real people like to support real people. And we WILL back products and projects because of their moral stances.
Just like we'll leave yours for the lack of them.

Opt out should be the default if gen AI is used on Twitch (and whatever product or service even if default opt in seems to be the norm so it grows artificially the numbers of users and force it even more into our throats), but most importantly nobody wants LLMs. You're literally scraping others' work and also video games these people will play on your website which is massively illegal and unethical. I'm making points regarding this, but seriously just don't do that, I'm already weary of using your services because of Amazon, but adding AI scraping on top of that is massive ********.
Simply refrain from implementing that at all. -

Dont you dare steal the streams created by your users to fodder into generative AI. Its unethical, its harmful to the enviorment and society at large and I am sick and tired of seeing it forced down our throats, when its undeniable that the general consumer does not want AI "features"
What would be the genuine use of this anyways? Easier ready made identity fraut? No thank you. -

This makes me extremely uncomfortable, and while I am taking a break from streaming and not currently streaming my work on Twitch, this would guarantee I would never do so going forward. I protect my likeness and art as much as possible. Please reconsider.

To allow AI to steal from the creative talent of those that made Twitch popular in the first place and betray them as well as up and coming streamers are disgusting. Get that slop out of here.
