LMAO

Not only should AI features be optional but Twitch HAS TO make the features opt-out by default. Implementing AI features at all would be an insult to your userbase, and many will leave no matter what, but at least save some grace with the people who would rather go to another platform than be forced to sacrifice their content, their art and their likeness to the dystopian hellscape to make the rich richer.

As soon as the AI feature drops, at least over 50% of the users/streamers are gone. And twitch will collapse soon after.

DO NOT USE THE STREAMS AS TRAINING DATA!!!!

I've been a viewer on twitch since about 2015 and a streamer on twitch since around 2018.

If AI features are forced on viewers and streamers, I will leave the platform. Ideally there will be no Generative AI involved at all, but with the recently added Auto-Captions feature for clips that ship has sailed.

IF Generative AI features will be added, they MUST be optional and Opt-Out by default. I do not want my voice or creative efforts to be stolen and used to train a soulless machine to generate profit for shareholders.

If AI features are added and cannot be opted out of, I will reluctantly move to another platform entirely.

Please listen to the thousands of voices of the creators on your platform opposing this decision.

Ideally do not implement AI at all.

At minimum let us opt out of everything. I cannot stress this enough I would rather leave for another platform entirely than have my streams scrapped for GenAI slop.

Making every creator default into feeding into AI data sets will decrease creator interest and user interest. No growth on this will make up the content and revenues you will lose.

I am trying to keep my comment within the confines of the TOS while still asking with appropriate contempt and derision, and thus have penned this:

What in the world are you thinking, and how did someone with ideas this bad ever come in to a position where they could even suggest them?

Considering what your creators value and provide for you, the fact that this idea was not shut down immediately upon suggestion is a spectacular failure in and of itself.

This is not an improv class. There is no "yes, and..." to be had here. Some ideas are bad, and need to be called out as such. This is quite possibly your worst one yet.

The choice is use twitch or not... do the AI thing Twitch I'll be here, watching with popcorn :D

I’ve been using Twitch since 2020, and I have been streaming that long too. If AI is in any way, shape, or form integrated into Twitch I will be leaving without hesitation. You will no longer be getting my money, nor my partners money. I will never use your services again - in fact, I will ACTIVELY speak against anyone using your services, and advise everybody who asks to avoid Twitch at all costs because they sold out to genAI.

This will 100% drive many away from streaming on twitch at all, taking their entire communites and the money they spend on them with them. Think carefully.

Mark my words, if you go through with this disgraceful notion, it will kill Twitch in ways the Adpocalypse could only have dreamed off. No-one who is not reliant on subscriptions will want to stay, and those that are will find out that you do not have the slightest ounce of respect for them.

NOBODY wants GenAI other than investors. NOBODY. Are you purposefully just trying to alienate people even more?

We don’t want our data / streams being used to train generative ai. Whether it’s our voices or visuals we DON’T want this twitch

This is truly one of the most inappropriate and invasive things I have seen announced in some time. If this is in any way implemented, not only will I myself cease using Twitch, but I will stop watching any content posted on it. This is not worth it. The privacy invasion alone is a nightmare, but this is also breach of copyright, and also a surefire way to upset everyone. Twitch can only exist while it has an audience and a userbase. If you drive those away, that is the end of Twitch.

If Twitch starts using streams to train a genAI model, not only will I never stream on Twitch again, but I will remove every clip, highlight, and upload from my channel. The last thing I want is to see this platform get destroyed by this awful technology.

I want nothing to do with Generative AI. Nothing at all. I do not consent to this. However, this is a fantastic way to tell your Partners that you do not care about them at all.

Do not train AI on streams that haven't given EXPRESS PERMISSION to do so. There are many creators who would HATE for their streams to be used this way!

The day I learnt that even ONE of my clips was used by Twitch to train Amazon's AI, I will leave for a decentralised platform, smaller but more honest with what they do.

And I'm pretty sure many others will, too. Both viewers and broadcasters. We're already providing entertainment on your platform for hardly a penny, do you think we're thrilled about the idea of making the internet more deceitful and less human, while still not getting paid? That's far beyond simple selfishness.

You, Twitch, need viewers and streamers to stay on your site to make money. We, on the other hand, can - and will - find other options.

I'm already tired of AI features being pushed in my face everywhere, I do not need it on Twitch.

Even the possibility that streams could be used as training data is a deep insult to all the creatives who use the platform. Opt-out by default is a must but honestly, the trust will be severed once ANY stream gets used to train AI.

Please make it OPT IN by default and NOT OPT OUT.

If this comes ill leave Twitch and never come back again.
As a streamer and as a viewer I do not supprt AI training with our likelieness. It is evading every privacy right we have.

I will keep my likelieness for myself and TO NOT LET AI TAKE IT.

Sorry to be that mad but this is not acceptable
