Using Twitch streams to train AI is bound to lead to AI-generated streams. That will be bad for streamers and the audience alike, and would inevitably lead to Twitch dying.

The only people who want this are investors who prioritize money over anything.

As a streamer: If I can't trust the platform to not mess with my streams, I obviously won't stream on that platform.

As an audience member: If I cannot trust the stream to be from the creator, but suspect it is influenced by AI generation - I won't watch streams on that platform.

As either, If I cannot trust the platform to not use predatory tactics to steal data from content producers - I won't use the platform.

Twitch has the advantage of being the biggest streamer platform. Here's hoping they don't take that for granted and self-destruct just to get on the AI bandwagon bound for ruins.

Please let us opt-out on this. Nobody wants their content plagiarized. Please!!!!

If twitch wants to completely destroy any good will they have left with their streamers then sure go ahead and feed our **** to AI

No one wants any AI feature you might come up with, just stop trying to force us to do anything with the environmentally destructive plagiarism machines. If you do insist upon it, well, we're all gonna find the next justin.tv and bail on you.

This isn't good enough. There needs to be NO AI implementation, PERIOD.

Dear Twitch,
We are all aware that as tech companies go, you are all tone deaf AF.

As the OG post says "make it opt in by deafault" if you must.

In the perfect world you would already be aware that if you pull this, a lot of us will walk. Is it nice being able to use a streaming platform. Absolutely. Does Twitch make it easy for us? Most of the time.

Do any of us, who use your platform and off whom YOU make money, want AI. If you think the answer is yes, you're more delusional than any of us thought.

So please, keep the platform clean. We all know if you introduce AI you'll break the platform and you'll have to fix and remove **** afterwards, not to mention, you'll have to apologise to this legion of users WHO BLOODY WELL TOLD YOU SO.

Give us just one playground where we don't have to hear/see/deal with AI slop or feel like we're being violated digitally because we'll be used to train Amazon's ****** AI models on.

(less than) kind regards
a very tired Twitch user.

Reaping the views, visions, passions, and personalities of Twitch creators and viewers for generative AI is abhorrent. If I didn't think my comment would also be put into the LLM, I'd say more. **** AI.

What sort of monster do you have to be to tell your base of millions "oh yeah we're going to steal from you now"? Cruelty and demonic behavior! How do you look at yourselves in the mirror?

@twitch: PLEASE allow us to opt out of ALL AI features if we want to, not just some or a few features. I'm comfortable streaming here but I will seriously consider moving to a different platform if you go through with feeding our content to genAI.

It's OUR content, it belongs to us creators, so WE should have a say on whether you can use it for this kinda stuff or not.

Dan Clancy needs to be removed from his position as CEO.

Every decision he's made for the past few years has made Twitch worse. He only exists to make Jeff Bezos richer. If they start training AI on other peoples streams, there will be a mass exodus.

He needs to go.

I do not want AI on Twitch PERIOD. No one wants it. And if I'm being used to train AI, I will move to a different platform all together.

Even better than making it opt-out by default, I think it's better if like, **Just don't do it**. This feature should not be a thing at all. Youtube Users in general hate a bunch of these features that are (relatively/fairly) convoluted to turn off depending, why force them here too? Nobody likes it there, nobody would like it here on Twitch too.

No AI features period.

I think you guys (twitch) have lost the plot a looong time ago, the entire point of a streaming platform is human interaction, and nothing ai can give that. Instead of shoving ai down our throat, maybe listen to your streamers and community, make a better space, do good with what you have. We've seen countless times how ai systems just **** up, we've seen how ai doesn't make anything good, and you should know by now that your community doesn't want ai.

DO NOT FUKCING DO THIS. IT WILL BREAK THE SITE AND **** EVERYONE OFF. ESPECIALLY YOUR TOP EARNING CREATORS. EVERYONE HATES AI, AND WILL HATE YOU. AGAIN, DO NOT DO THIS.

These AI features do not benefit the creators or viewers on the platform. The only individuals who want these features are the wealthy individuals who have poured billions into this monstrous technology. AI continues to be pushed back by the people, and for good reason.
Creation is human, and no technology or AI can replace that. Implementation of these AI models is a desecration of humanity. Please, listen to the collective voice of your creators and rethink your decision!

How can you look at EVERYONE saying how terrible AI has been, see the backlash across the internet in other cases from other companies and think this is a good idea ? No one wants this! Please don't turn this website into another slop machine

This should be opt in, it's very clear the online community does not want anything to do with AI, listen to the people who use your platform and drop the AI, or at LEAST make everything optional

i do not want any ai slop on twitch. at all. ever.

We wish for human interactions in our channels and our streams. Why would we want AI to interact for us? Instead of looking at ways to shoehorn in AI where it isn't needed, try listening to what streamers and users actually want.

No one wants this, no one wants AI shoved down their throat to bring ******** "features" that exist to simply try and fuel some Billionaires weird Tony Stark wannabe fantasy. This **** has done nothing but maker it more annoying to traverse platforms. This whole site is people interacting and enjoying other people, you cannot replace that. Trying to will simply cause everyone to go somewhere else, if there isn't a place, someone will make one.
