If you make this a forced thing for all creators that might just kill this site. Like yeah I'm depending on it currently for even the smallest bit of income but I will find another place to stream if y'all implement this.

I get that from the corporate perspective, generative AI is just The Future Of The Internet, and corporations are desperate to scoop up every last bit of video, audio, text, and other "content" that they can use to train new, bigger, and supposedly better models.

Creators and audiences alike deserve better than that. Default all streamers and creators to opted-out, make it *easy* to opt back out if somebody opts in to letting you use their streams for AI training or to using AI features themselves, and don't force AI "features" on ANYONE, be they creators or viewers.

This is a horrible idea. I do not wish for my streams to be used to train AI models and no one else does either. Make this opt-in or, better yet, reverse course entirely. What do you even think you will accomplish from doing this? Driving out the people who make the site what it is? I'm used to a constant stream of poor decisions made by the execs of this company, but you are truly toying with destroying the platform entirely with this one. Rethink this.

this is a horrible implementation and shouldn't even be considered on a platform that creators use to entertain and interact with others. the use of generative AI is costly not just for the environment but for companies trying to utilize the tools in general (more than having an actual person do the work)

Streaming and creating should be handled by the people who built your platform over the several years that Twitch has been around and not by some computer program aping what others do with 100% less of the soul or effort.

Throw this garbage out. We don't want to use AI and have our voices used for scams or anything else.

Twitch would be willingly sacrificing the trust and good will of their users with this frankly insane choice. They shouldn't be doing this at all, but at the bare minimum it should be optional.

Requiring streamers to give up their content to train AI is outrageous and a cheap way to get around properly licensing the training material from creators. Default opt-out is the least that should be done here.

i'ld straight rather they not use our streams to train generative AI at all. if they really must I agree, it should be defaulted to opt out. But AGAIN I'LD RATHER THEY NOT USE OUR STREAMS TO TRAIN GENERATIVE AI.

I honestly hope you dont go forward with this Twitch it would be a bad way forward and will loose you streamers and viewers. and if you feel the need to be dumb and do this it better be clear obvious and easy to opt out as I will NEVER consent to my content being used for AI and will take my community (small as it may be) else where

AI features are entirely unnecessary, and creators content should not be used to train AI with or without their consent.
Should this be implemented a lot of creators will leave the platform.

I will absolutely never use Twitch again if AI training is forced on its streamers.

Asinine to think about adding a "feature" like this even if you're ignoring the irreparable damage generative ai has caused already
Think twice about adding it and consider that you will lose a big chunk of streamers once this goes live
You don't care about the streamers clearly so at least see this from a point of revenue loss like the sick vultures you are

Training AI with streams would be the fastest way to convince me to never use Twitch again.

Really? More AI bullshi-? None of your user ase wants this ****. Stop.

twitch, if you ride the AI train, how will you stand out. not using AI can be a marketing strategy. also AI is ip theft from multiple parties. AI is largely resented by the masses which is where most of the money comes from. opt out options will need to be put in place immediately if you do go ahead with it. would suck for twitch to just blend in with the AI slop crowd especially as open ai reports it will miss its target by 90%

I do not know why I have to say this, as I feel like it should have been clear at this point, but we do not, and have never wanted, AI features. And we especially do not want to be opted-into being used to train AI by default. Full stop. End of discussion. If you go through with this, I can assure you a not-insignificant portion of your user base will leave the platform completely. And that means less people buying bits and subs or watching ads, which means less profits for you. Are you really sure you can take a hit like that?

I'd go so far as to say do not use streams to train generative AI, like do not push this update through and do not attempt to implement this policy. What is that actual purpose of doing that? What ethical, practical demand for twitch's users and streamers is this filling? This is such a pointless notion. "We picked a town, built a giant furnace in the middle of it, demanded everyone who already lives there bring us all their firewood and coal and gas if they want to keep living there, and now we can sell them smog" type reasoning.

What a disappointment. There's no value to be added from pumping needless AI slop onto this platform. If these "features" so much as grace my eyes I will be deleting my account and urging others to follow suit. It's destroying our environment, stealing from creators internationally, and completely useless if a person actually has an iota of creativity and persistence. Leave AI in the grave it dug for itself, don't chop up your platform to feed to machines.

If AI becomes mandatory I'll be immediately deleting my account and stopping all my personal traffic to Twitch, and encouraging others to do the same. AI is a poison to this earth and the internet and I don't want any part of it or to support any companies that even use it A LITTLE BIT.

Your desire to make "AI Streamers" to generate more content will ultimately lead to the abandonment of the platform. Do try to NOT be Jeff Butthole's Flying Monkeys....
