Don’t do this. Don’t use streamers to train ai. This is so tone deaf. So many people hate genai and will stop using your platform if you do this - viewers and streamers included. Don’t do it.

just ******* stop with the AI stuff already, no one outside of the shareholedrs want this.

Do you want a mass exodus of creators? because thats how you get a mass exodus of creators

If twitch goes through with using their creators as training data for whatever Ai slop engine you're trying to build, I will take it upon myself to find any alternative way possible to support the creators themselves and deny twitch any revenue, up to and including ad blocking.

AI is stupid poopy **** for stupid poopy **** people.

Leave out the LLM slop, or myself and many partnered friends will just... Go elsewhere. Instantly.

Adding any kind of AI "Feature" to any platform has a demonstrably negative impact on the platform. There has been significant push back from creators and consumers alike. Both are cancelling subscriptions, deleting their content, closing or making their accounts private, and persuading friends/family to do the same. Meta removed AI remixing from Instagram, TikTok removed AI remixing from their platform, Even world governments are switching away from Google and Microsoft because of how AI infested those platforms have become.

If we can't avoid AI on the platform, we will just avoid the platform. Other places offer the ability to livestream without being forced to hand over our ideas, creativity, and likeness to train an AI model. If Twitch continues down this path, people will simply leave until only those legally obligated to stream there are left.

Do NOT use AI on our streams. I don’t want to leave the platform, but if you do, I won’t be watching, subscribing, or giving you a penny of my money.

I will choose ethics over ghouls every ******* time. I left Facebook and Twitter. I will leave Twitch if I can't even opt out of this AI garbage.

genAI models all crumble under the scrutiny of environmental impact, cybersecurity, effect on the human psyche, and copyright infringement. Implementation of these deeply unpopular features would help no one but the billionaire classes trying to push genAI into every aspect of our lives. Making them optional and switched off in the user experience by default is the LEAST you could do, beyond not implementing them at all.
Please consider that if this drives users away from the platform, the creators who stream for a living will be the most affected, and if you lose them, you have nothing.

Please learn to understand the notion of consent. Nobody wants this.

Give everyone the option to opt out completely. Even better, don't implement this at all. I don't want to train something that will attempt to replace or replicate my identity.

There should be no generative AI features at all on Twitch, and if you must implement for sake of keeping your stakeholders quiet, do it with opt-out as the default.

Your platform and by extension any revenue you make is inherently dependent on creatives, you cannot afford to alienate them any further.

Opt Out of anything AI by default should be the bare minimum, but they should not add AI features to Twitch in any capacity.

AI offers no value whatsoever, when compared to actual human creativity and it continues to make products outright worse or look incredibly cheap and gross.

If Twitch decides they want to add such features, I will probably retire from the website, both as a streamer and viewer, which I know I am not alone in thinking.

I have not once consented to any of my content to be used in training generative AI models. It's become a literal minefield in all corners of creative online spaces to avoid putting our creations in the line of plagiarism machines.

In the long list of detrimental decisions that Twitch's management has made to change things about the platform that indirectly & directly harms creators on the service, this decision one is going down as the worst one yet. If this platform joins in with the crumbling bubble that generative AI technology is becoming, I dare not entertain the ramifications. You'll hemorrhage users, viewers, and organisations that use the platform for their philanthropic endeavours. You'll become yet another name on the great blacklist. You'll potentially kill Twitch with this.

Many of us implore you to stick this idea in the bin.

opting out. It does not help anything in the content space. theres literal articles of CEOs hiring back the people they fired over AI thinking its able to make gold bricks n rain silver. so real swell idea to make everyone use it. right when its lost everyone so much money. skip this idea and tell the AI bros to leave twitch alone, you can turn down money if its against your morals. i have. everyone has. you'll be well respected more for it.

This will kill Twitch. If you don’t back out of it now, all of your high earning streamers will leave the platform (Not just some, ALL of them) along with every other user with common sense.

Do NOT implement these features, or if you do, make everyone opted out by default. Absolutely NOBODY wants their content to be used for AI training.

No good can come from this. Leave the AI to the stupid people who still believe it has a place in a functioning society

AI is the graveyard of creativity and the umpteenth nail in the climate change coffer: persistently trying to push it unto users that openly and seethingly hate it is counterintuitive and counterproductive. There's no point to it. Stop trying. Think about actually improving your site rather than adding slop to slop.

for the sake of brevity, i'm just gonna say this: AI will drive away massive amounts of users, and cost the company (and its shareholders) far more financially than it would ever, even hypothetically, gain from forced implementation. if users can't at least shut the AI features off, they simply will use other sites for streaming instead, no contest.

It's so easy to destroy your reputation, and so hard to get it back.

Do the right thing and keep AI training out of Twitch.

And if you really "have" to do it, make it non mandatory and opt-out by default. Promote it later if you want to see "how much people want this" so they can turn it on (so you will notice what we are already saying, don't waste your time in something people don't want).

Don't force creators to go elsewhere because of some bad decisions, because we will.
