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.

Actually just don't have any AI features at all. Seriously. What's wrong with you? You already take advantage of streamers in every way possible, now you want to train AI on us just existing? Disgusting creeps.

When I'm on Twitch as a viewer, I don't want AI slop. I want to watch real human beings being their entertaining selves. There's many wonderful people I've discovered through this site.
When I'm on Twitch as a streamer, I DOUBLY don't want AI slop. My stuff is my stuff. I don't want some slop factory to make derivative junk using my inputs!
The signal you're sending if you want to train stuff off of people on this site, ESPECIALLY with say vtubers who use animated personas and thus could be duplicated with more accurate deepfakery, is that you don't value the people who make your platform interesting in the least. It's bad enough I have to sit through gambling ad after gambling ad begging me to throw my money away on this site.

I would like to add that if Twitch goes ahead with constantly injecting AI we neither want or asked fir. I know I will be leaving the platform as well as many others.

If Twitch starts selling its data to train GenAI, i will cancel every one of my subscriptions and never look back.

I'd rather entirely drop off the face of the earth in terms of potentially making streamed or video content than have my voice, gameplay, and commissioned artwork drawn by personal friends be scraped by some shitbox AI LLM so a CEO can pay less employees.
Your bubble will pop soon, and I hope to god you lose your 15 houses.

Stop using AI it is destroying the planet and human interactions. People come here to interact with other humans. don't even do this to begin with, nobody wants this! I pay on here and i will stop if this becomes a thing.

Can I vote for no AI at all like zero, zilch, not a single iota of generative slop features or integration on this platform? I don’t care if you want to impress your shareholders or aid in developing new ways of making slop, stop it.

Instead Of Pumping Money Into AI, Pump It Into REAL Creators And Creatives. AI Is The One Thing Every REAL Creator Hates And If It Keeps Going Like This Myself Aswell As Many Others Are Going To Drop Twitch As A Whole.

No one comes to twitch to be fed ai slop, they come here to feel a sense of community and connection. I've made friends and grown in so many personal and intimate ways being with real actual people. That put their heart and soul into what they create. Doing anything ai. ANYTHING! Is an insult to this platform and what it represents and how it even has a leg to stand on, is from its people. Not AI garbage

GenAI has no benefits, is terrible for the environment and now you want to scrape the data off of creators without even allowing a full choice? This is a terrible show of how you don't even care about people making Twitch all the money, not to mention just complete breach of trust without allowing us to say to to all of it.
There should be none of it on Twitch, but if you're gonna push for this AI garbage, at least make it fully opt-out and not just partially. Othewise most viewers and creators will just leave. -

Remove AI features from this site. No one wants them. Please stop. Please leave these features in the wastebin of history and let creators just create to their own imagination and performance's comfort. Do not. DO NOT turn this into another slop site, for this is how you lose audience, this is how you lose creators.
AI is not the future, for AI does not, in fact, truly exist. This algorithm is a hinderence and a weak attempt to replace the human element from creative video making.

I am a long time paying Turbo member. That will stop if AI features are not Opt Out by default and I will cease watching on the platform. How greedy can you be?

If you don't give me the option to opt out of AI feagures I will quit streaming. Literally nothing motivates me more than wrath these days and nothing incites my wrath like theft-machines.

So what's the endgame here, just to simply not have streamers in the platform anymore? Just have generated slop doing fake streams? False react content by a glorified calculator? People for better or worse come here for the semblance of human interaction that can be done between a streamer who engages with chat, and a chat member who want to talk to the streamer.

this is ridiculous and literally nobody wants it. it will in fact be a waste of money and cause people to leave the platform. don’t even make AI features optional, don’t implement them in the first place.

I don't want any AI slop features on twitch nor I want generative ai to be trained based on any of my videos and stream, thank you very much. 👎👎👎👎

We don’t need AI being forcefully shoved on us. We are creatives and we do this because we love it, not to have clankers trained on us. Just because Twitch/Amazon made a horrendously bad investment doesn’t mean y’all should shove it onto us who never forced you to make such a stupid decision.

Generative AI is not only pointless and worthless, but taking people's creative ideas and likenesses without giving them any option to say no is just vile. This is an insane decision and one that could only be devised by people who are desperate to make GenAI worth something so their foolish investments will somehow pay returns. Don't.

This is a monstrous, catastrophic, emphatic **** NAW from every creator on Twitch with a brain.
AT MINIMUM, all creators should be able to opt out of any and all AI features, and have them turned off by default. AT. MINIMUM.
Realistically? Using AI and training models on creator content SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ON THE TABLE FOR CONSIDERATION. This is a disgusting, thoughtless idea encouraged by nothing more than greed. End of story. There's no talking your way around it. Get rid of it.
