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.

Ai features shouldn't be there at all, but at the very least should be opt out as a default.

Default should be opted out. The only reason you'd not have it as default is knowing people wouldn't interact with it otherwise. With other streaming platforms still growing in popularity and with better pay structures makes this decision even wilder.
Plus, if you're going to use peoples data shouldn't you be paying them for it.

just stop with the ai bs, nobody wants it, TELL YOUR SHAREHOLDERS THAT NOBODY WANTS IT. Forcing it will just drive people away.

There are very few places on the Internet that it's safe for creators to go without having some kind of their creation scraped by those wanting to profit of off them without permission and compensation.
I am staunchly against the idea of using our livestreams to train Gen AI. If it became mandatory, I would have to seriously consider leaving the platform for a different option. Not that there are many places left to go. Twitch has been my home for well over a decade and I'd hate to have to leave, but I also refuse to let others take what is not their own. I think a reasonable middle ground would be to make it automatically opt out, and give individuals the option to opt in, should they be interested in doing so.
Gen AI has been nothing but destructive to creative and entertainment sectors. It harms creators at every level, by stealing their ideas and repackaging them without giving credit or compensation for stolen goods. Anything involving Gen AI is always a poorer quality version of what a human can do. It will make your service look and feel cheap. Why should I bother to work with a company that's known to ship a poorer quality product based off of theft, if I have other options?
Please reconsider. I don't want Twitch to go away.

As a creator on twitch, making sure that my likeness, content and style are not used to train a tool that has no soul or passion in this craft, I hope these features can and will be made an opt-in option, that would give me better piece of mind. We really do not need more slop machines overtaking everything that we do in life, I love to see the human ingenuity within people's craft!

If Twitch implements AI, I'm moving to Youtube, no question about it.

This is a really terrible idea. None of the people that stream - the people who make the content you require for your platform to have a purpose - want this. There is no world where this turns out well for you, especially with all the downsides of 'AI' to both content creation and the wider world.
That it would be a huge PR win to turn down the use of AI is an understatement, but I have a sad feeling I know exactly where this is going to lead despite everyone objecting. If there isn't an Opt Out that is set to default, there will be a huge amount of backlash.

No AI. No training AI on creators on Twitch. No using AI on your platform. Please be better.

No AI slop, its bad enough you think AI slop is art but to force creators to feed some slop machine is just a any % speed run to tank a company.

If AI goes through as a default, I will be cancelling my twitch prime and my turbo and deleting my account.

Your company isn’t too big to fail, regardless of how much you lot think it is.
This? This’ll be lethal in it’s own right before even getting into the legal nightmare of it all. -

The only training use I can see for this is to cut creators out of the process, we want none of that and AI has little to no place on platforms like Twitch

This is a bad idea. Not everyone is going to be clear on this idea of using their own streams to train ai. Ai right now is not the right technology Right now. People are very hesitant to just jump in Twitch to watch their streamers. Now that YouTube is your other completion. Many users and streaming will have to move off twitch to YouTube. It will be a big deal if you want people to stay on the platform. Don't bring Ai. Be able to opt out or never do this. We don't need to have to worry about Ai being used on our streams. We don't need Ai right now due to the fact we have other issues in hand that we should be focused on that is not this.

Literally how would this not be a massive legal nightmare to implement in the first place?? NO AI! Everyone hates AI! At least make it optional, default off, and maybe warn users if they're entering a stream that has opted in.

Nobody asked for genAI features, and adding them in will hurt everyone and make people leave this platform.

AI is absolutely soulless and not a replacement for actual human interaction. Forcing it upon people who don’t want it is an absolute spit in the face of people who helped make this platform what it is, both streamers and viewers. I don’t think these AI features should be a thing at all, but please at least let us be able to opt out and not have it on by default.
