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.

Please let us opt out if we want to. I and many of my friends really do not want to be training AI against our will

Trust me Twitch it will backfire HARD if you use ai just do us a favor and give streamers a chance to NOT be involved because the last thing ANYONE wants is to be thrown into Ai slop without knowing or not giving the chance to opt out

Absolutely not, if we’re forced to train AI I’m moving my streams to YouTube

I will actively avoid all twitch related content if gen ai is used to train on streams.

Adding AI features that default to Opt-in shows that this is not about giving creators tools or options, but about buoying failing and unpopular technology.

Just don't in general.

Make everything opt in, not opt out. It should be out be default. And if anyone opts in, there should be some kind of compensate for the streamer, since you're using their work to profit.

I do NOT want AI on this platform. I do NOT consent to the processing of content/informational data on/by this platform scrapped for AI use.

This is possibly the worst idea twitch has had. How about you go learn why people do it and how it can be improved for creators, I can promise that only streamers that would ever want this are the AI bros and they are the worst as they get gen AI to create "art" because they are cheap.

Many of us would prefer not to have AI trained on our content. As a DJ, I am pretty sure that comes with its own legal issues too. Please make it opt-in by default rather than opt-out

I'm already disgusted that Twitch uses gen-AI for it's category icons and for some emotes. ESPECIALLY the art category. As an artist who used to stream my process here, it's really sickening to see the company using gen-AI to represent art and artists in any capacity.
I am currently gearing up to start making videos again, streams and tutorials and process videos. I'm a Twitch affiliate, but I won't host or stream my content here while the company keeps pushing this unethical garbage on the userbase.
If you implement these features and enable them by default, I will cancel all of my remaining subs and move my support of my creator friends to patreon. If you don't respect artists, I will.

Literally no Twitch user wants this. Listen to the people that actually use this platform, not the shareholders that think AI will fill their wallets.

Get this idea out of your heads. You have so many creators who are anti-AI and it isn't worth destroying their hopes and trust in you for a little bit of extra money. This is destructive.

If I am forced into any AI Training Initiative, I will stop streaming on the Twitch platform, and encourage everybody I reasonably can to do the same. I am frankly disgusted that this feature is being considered in the slightest. Give us the choice, or we will make the choice to leave.

Completely irresponsible move.
This will make me move away from the platform completely. -

Training AI on streamers' content against their will, with no option to fully opt out, is harrowing, invasive, and a blatant overreach spearheaded and motivated by greed and nothing more. Mr. Clancy and anyone else involved should be ashamed of themselves for even considering this.

Using any creator's content for AI training, including tons of artists and musicians, blindly with no repercussions will lead to a mass exodus of users, myself included. This shouldn't even be a thing to talk about, but here we are. Opt-out by default should be the standard, but we shouldn't even have to worry about things like this as creators no matter what size.
