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.

Never EVER force so onto your platform. Streamers & watchers don’t want it anywhere near us

I'd love to see the numbers you guys crunched with how many people will literally just leave the moment this AI stuff becomes mandatory. Please opt out by default at LEAST, but also just don't.

Ideally you do not implement this at all. It would constitute a platform shift for a lot of folks.

I do not want any AI tools, I do not want my content used to train AI, and if my content is scraped without my consent, which I do not give, I WILL leave the platform.

AI has no place in content creation, and that includes learning from content creators and live streamers

No twitch streamer and twitch user wants to participate in any generative AI feature on ANY platform. We will actively boycott and deactivate our accounts if AI features are integrated into Twitch. No more subscriptions, no more streams, no more users on Twitch should it fall in line with generative AI.

As a platform that hosts so many Artists! It is out right disrepectful for the streamers who use your platform!
no one wants this on the platform and you are going to lose so many talented content creators to other platforms! We do not want Gen AI in our Twitch streams! We want to purely enjoy content and share our own content thank you!
the company may be thinking "Oh Gen AI is the future" WELL NEWS FLASH IT AIN'T! you are making moves in your company that is just Bad business and will ruin your own profits... since that is all Big Corpo cares about. And not the wellbeing of those you make money from!

Echoing a lot of people - I don't want to see AI content, and I don't want the people I support have their streams, labours of love and hard work automatically fed into an AI machine without a choice and compensation. This will drive me away from Twitch and looking to support them literally anywhere else.

I will cancel ALL my subscriptions, and cease watching if twitch goes through with scraping the community without given everys treamer a clear and definite option to avoid being used to train any sort of AI model.
I do not WANT any AI content. If nobody can be bothered to produce it, I can't be bothered to consume it. Do NOT use people's likeness, voices, phrases, pictures, THEIR ENTIRE PERSON AND BRAND to feed a system we do not wish to use. -

Twitch needs to know that this will LOSE a LOT of their creators. A lot of viewers are anti-AI and will force creators to stream to another platform. This isn't just a problem for twitch, this will literally threaten the livelihoods of so many creators that will cause permanent damage to twitch that it may never recover from. This should ONLY be an opt-in thing as maybe a handful of creators might find it useful if anything. Twitch needs to recognize that the majority of its own demographic and viewerbase are anti-AI in an industry where people are so tired of how AI has infiltrated and seemingly ruined what was so great about it. This will kill this streaming platform.

You will never have my consent, as a streamer, to use my content or my image in your AI scraping or training! Do NOT do this!

You will not be using our streams to train generative AI.
All AI features should be opt out by default.

I do not want any ai features on Twitch, and do not want any of my data training ai. The decisions Twitch has made over the past few years has already made me question the future of the platform. If Twitch starts training ai on streams I will leave. I have spoken to friends who watch and stream on Twitch and feel the same. We do not trust ai or the companies going in on this harmful tech.

We don't want AI slop and we don't want to have our voice and content stolen to train it either. You will sink this platform overnight if you go forward with this, wasting all the years you've spent trying to build it up.

This will not only drive people away from the platform, but it will harm the livelihoods and income of so many people who rely on it. We do NOT want our livelihoods and content used to train AI. Keep the AI away from Twitch!

Twitch is enjoyed by so many people the world over because of the individual creators and their personalities. It's not just the big creators but even small ones with a niche but loving audience. You can't manufacture that with robots, and you CERTAINLY can't convince them to stay and keep that niche if they think it's gonna be stolen.
So for the love of God, don't force this stupid thing down our throats, less creators leave en masse to protect themselves. As they should. -

The current trend of forcing AI "features" on users without their consent and of using content to train AI models in ways that actively harms the creators of that content must stop. If Twitch is dead set on incorporating AI into its platform, then the absolute bare minimum it can do for its users is to allow them to decide if this is something they actually want. I may not be a big streamer so I'm sure this carries no weight whatsoever, but if my streams are going to be used to train AI models without my consent, then I will simply never stream on Twitch again.

Heyyyy, soooo, I just got Affiliate on Twitch, and I think GenAI is like the laziest, most wasteful usage of the tech, sooooo, can we at the VERY LEAST make it an option that I can opt out of allowing anything I contribute to the platform be used in an AI Learning Vacuum Platform?
