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.

You all already know the majority of the internet's stand on Ai usage. You start using and supporting Ai A LOT of people are gonna start losing followers and in turn, a primary source of income for alot of those people. If you have any shred of integrity or care for those that use this platform, you will heavily reconsider.

Forcing genAI down our throat is the fastest way to get me to reconsider using YouTube for streaming. Please don't do something so stupidly suicidal to Twitch's already bad reputation.

Everybody hates this. AI is a useless nothing product that has directly and indirectly killed thousands, perhaps more. It continues to do so every day. It is ultimately a massive money laundering scheme that is propogated by all of the worst of the worlds richest.
Generative AI ruins everything it touches and scorches the earth as it does so. There are millions of lives that have been shattered by this technology and quite frankly, in my eyes? the damage done to even one person would warrant destroying every single data center and legal consequences for every single AI company, their leaders, their sycophants, and the politicians who spinelessly kneel to these charlatans.
I will never use twitch again if AI is involved.

I think it's very common knowledge that every normal person and their mother hates AI. It's theft and it's killing the planet. Just stop. WE don't want it.

This is absolutely insane. I hope common sense prevails and they see how clearly distasteful & disliked this is.

WHO ASKED FOR THIS? WHAT HERCULEAN LEAP OF LOGIC LED YOU PEOPLE TO BELIEVE IMPLEMENTING GENERATIVE AI WAS EVEN REMOTELY A GOOD IDEA? HERE'S AN IDEA! HOW ABOUT GETTING YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE **** SAND AND LISTEN TO YOUR USERS FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIVES! OTHERWISE PEOPLE WILL LEAVE AND THIS SITE WILL BE RENDERED A SHELL OF ITS FORMER SELF!

Using streamer content to train genAI is likely to end you with no streamers and no content.
Most of us are artist and artisans. We've been telling you we don't want this and continuing to try and push it on us isn't going to end well. Best case, you only lose a large percentage of streamers to other platforms. Worst, you lose a large percentage of streamers to other platforms, you get sued inside out and.. hm. Didn't Amazon literally just lose a few million on AI-generated mistakes?
Don't do this. Don't buy into the slop-fest. Don't be yet another platform trying to ram it down our throats by force.

While I think the option provided by this post has merit, I feel it's being a little too lenient. Generative AI of ANY KIND has not ever, nor will it ever, have a place on Twitch.
This website was built by it's creatives, and adding any form of Generative AI/LLM will not only serve to discourage new creators from participating in the Twitch ecosystem, it will work as active discouragement for those that are currently the only reason this website is still thriving. I would urge Twitch to reconsider the whole arrangement, but barring that, sure make the features optional and opt-out by default.

YES, make it opt-out as the default. Better yet, GET RID OF AI ON THE PLATFORM AS IT IS A BLIGHT ON CREATIVE WORK.

I do not give permission for any third parties to use my likeness or any of my content to train any form of generative AI and strongly encourage the establishment of a legal recourse for creators whose content has been used without permission instead

I did not spend almost 2 years streaming just to have AI using MY voice and MY tone without MY consent.
I do not support or respect those who use generative AI in such a manner. We don't want it and we don't need it.
Take a hint already
You must make the option to Opt Out on or you risk losing more than 80% of your creators on this site. If you refuse, you better be ready to accept the consequences of your actions
