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.

been using this platform DAILY since 2013, spent multiple THOUSANDS of dollars on this site that I enjoy and that is a hub for unimaginable amount of creativity and yall just want to steal it all with corporate greed. Rethink your priority other me and countless of others will move out and stop sending the money you deem so precious.

One would think that, with the GenAI pushback being an ongoing thing for years now, would give companies enough evidence that a majority of their paying and contributing userbase DO NOT WANT AI being trained off them, but alas it must be said again.
Please give an option for creators to opt out ENTIRELY from GenAI models being trained off them, or better yet, do not train GenAI models off your users and content creators at all.
GenAI will incur thousands of losses not only with creators moving platforms and losing a large number of income generation, but also with the cost of upkeeping these models.
No future Twitch member will be able to trust a company that actively ignores the voices of its users and content creators, which is especially damning when your site RELIES on creators. If there are no streamers, there is no Twitch.
Please, please reconsider your decision. Many people are angry, and with valid reasons. At least give us an opt out option. Show your creators that you aren't entirely tone deaf.

I have passed up on good, high paying jobs in my field because they make GenAI and LLMs mandatory.
I will abandon this site forever, permanently, with no chance of redemption if Twitch begins facilitating data scraping and GenAI training.

we don't need Ai. We got breathing people who love doing this.

I rather not having AI be used to train for streaming, not to mention it also very expansive to use. Would you use AI knowing that it will cost more money then hiring people?
It seems a very bad idea for both the people and the company.

I am not a fan of Generative AI, from how it is used to how it is created. Forcing this on creators would most likely make me leave this platform.

I don't want AI, I don't want to be a part of AI, I don't want my content to train AI, and if AI is around I want to be able to turn it off.

Literally one of the stupidest ideas they could've come up with. Do not put more AI on this site!

If the platform wants any hope of the next generation of influential streamers to be using it, it will do everything to prioritize the autonomy of its users and sanctity of their personal image and identity.
Twitch will get eaten alive by other content platforms otherwise. -

The LEAST they can do is to make it something we can OPT out of. THE LEAST. Why do we have to plead for the bare minimum??? Enough with the slop!

I love streaming, I think it's a great creative outlet. If I have no choice but to have what I make train a slopbot to make slop for slopbrains then I'm finding a different creative outlet.
Eat slop and die.

Get the AI garbage out of my face. Making AI "features" unable to be opted out of will drive me and others away from this website.

Having generative ai steal the likeness of streamers on this platform will push A LOT of said streamers off the platform. This is a terrible move, and will further damage the already waning trust between all actors in the streaming economy and Twitch itself. It's a death sentence.

It was sickening to see these GenAI features integrated into the hype trains, and now this? One shameful decision after another.
No platform is too big to crash, burn and die, guys.

Genuinely a horrid idea, AI has been proven to do harm to both lives and the environment for literally NO gain, most AI companies are losing so much and this would only add to the distrust of the platform and cause all creators to leave the platform anyway, with any remaining just shoveling content, AI is Theft, AI is Immoral.

You know how deep fakes are illegal in some countries? Yeah, this AI slop training should be seen in the same light, if it doesn't already fall under the same laws. And slipping it into ToS is a ******** backdoor move, it should be an opt in with opt out as default.
