I do not support this whatsoever personally. But if somebody wants to manually opt into it-fine, I guess...But definitely should not be forced on us. Really goes against anything Twitch was really founded on: users creating their own unique content. Thank you.

We know you don't really give a **** about anyone who uses twitch, but implementing Generative AI will reinforce this, and drive everyone away. Get it through your heads: No one wants this garbage. NO ONE WANTS THIS.

NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS. NO ONE WANTS THIS.

If you cannot understand this, eat turds.

LLMs/GenAI is not a tool twitch needs, asides from the environmental and monetary impact, it has massive societal impact that we do not need in any case.

Using our content to train an AI model is theft, and theft is a crime.
If you "have" to have AI tools, they ALL should be opt out by default, so that we can make an informed choice on using it.

That said, if twitch wants to actually make money, using AI is not the way to go, it is a massive financial drain... and that is not even the worst part of it.

Don't do this Generative Ai ****. I love this platform, but if you do this I will literally delete my account altogether, this is a terrible idea and whoever came up with it should be fired. I would love nothing more than to use hostility with this decision, but I know that'll ne filtered out so this is as nice as you're getting me.

This entire feature that's being considered here? It's a great way to literally destroy your platform. The exodus from Twitch would be massive and you would never recover. You're already on thin ice for a LOT of people. It would take a lot less than this for many to jump ship, and I can't even blame them at this point.

More than that, just DON’T IMPLEMENT AI TRAINING AT ALL!

Companies are quickly pulling out of it because they’re finding profits aren’t there and the cost of using these genAI mechanisms is too much. Just stop using it.

Hey twitch, just don't. It's that simple. I know everyone is looking for the next big thing but this ain't it.

Opt out by default, and don't do the ai training in the first place.

You have millions of creators and it could not be a bigger slap in the face to implement or use ai to train systems. It steals from people and it will cause outrage. We don't want it.

I will leave twitch out of spite if I get opted in by default. This **** is theft!

Generative AI is a blight and should not be used for anything. Do NOT follow this trend and Reject any plans to implement AI until further notice.

PLEASE DON'T ADD AI!! I DON'T consent to my channel being used to train AI. It will feel like I don't get a say to protect my privacy

This should be opt out by default. Forcing such a controversial feature on people feels hostile. I'd debate it shouldn't be a thing to even begin.

Stop ittttt!!

Are you TRYING to kill your platform? If you want to start the process of replacing human streamers and human viewers with bots, slop, and stolen content, you'll regret it. You might not notice if someone small like myself stops streaming on Twitch, but you will when the big ones leave. Fulfilling Dead Internet Theory doesn't seem like a wise business decision for a website that needs real people to prosper.

This should only be an opt-in sort of feature for those who want it, but by dint of it existing there's no guarantee that any streamer and/or viewer won't be used for this GenAI's training, which is unethical. Consent by any individual for what their information, likeness, voice, etc, is used for, is essential, and GenAI takes that consent away. If this training AI is implemented I will no longer be seeking to become affiliate or anything with twitch, and will most likely be deleting any content I do have saved on my account so that I am not in any way used to train an AI. I cannot speak for others, but what I'm reading here is a similar consensus to the concerns I have along with the actions I will take if AI is implemented to Twitch to train off of streamers and/or viewers. Creatives don't want AI, we don't want it trained off of us, we don't want it in our communal creative spaces.

Just write off the billions of dollars you wasted on this like Meta did with the metaverse. You chased a bad lead that nobody wants, own it. It's not our fault you lit billions of dollars on fire to not be left behind other companies who were lighting billions of dollars on fire to keep up with other companies that were lighting billions of dollars on fire.

opt-out?

that means "everyone is opt-in by default with little means to opt-out"

NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS

what about NEVER

This entire idea should be scrapped and never revisited. Not a single character of code concerning generative AI be added to Twitch. No one except short-sighted billionaires want this. It has no use for humanity other than to destroy human achievement.

AI should be optional and opt-out by default!
