If implemented without the options and opt-out by default, this will ruin the viewer and streamer experience.

Is Twitch management really *that* blind to all the backlash that AI features have received? It's insane that, this late into the game, they're trying to jump onto this toxic, brand-destroying bandwagon. Making opt-out the default for ALL users is the absolute least they can do.

AI is total *********, and forcing it onto your users is *********. Pull the plug on this now, or sink your platform with an exodus of streamers and viewers. Your AI can go to ****.

Training AI on stolen/unauthorized data is stupid enough, would like to not see it at all.

This idea is a literal death sentence for your platform, alongside the extreme personal violation this would introduce to your users. Why the **** do you think you have the right to feed your users, the ones that are paying YOUR bills, identity to a robot so that it can mimic them into a shoddy combine for...what? What exactly do you plan to do with this? I come to twitch to watch HUMAN BEINGS. Nobody who uses your platform should fear their voice, face, and likeness being fed to a machine when they are simply trying to have fun and make a living. The fact this is even being entertained is disgusting. Needless to say if you implement this feature you will see a severe decline in your userbase. Personally, I would never use your platform again, would never spend any amount of money on your platform, and this would become a permanent stain on your record I and many others will never forget. Your website is upheld entirely by the creators you rely on. It would be a good idea for you to NOT bite the hand that feeds you, and by that I mean you should not throw the hand that feeds you into a ******* shredder.

Creators and audience come to Twitch streams for unique ideas, and use the platform to connect and build a community around topics and games that we love. Using generative ai is a breach in trust and sullies that connection. I don't want to watch gen ai content, my audience does not want to consume gen ai content, and as a creator I don't authorize my voice, ideas, or gameplay footage to train any ai model.

Once again, stop adding AI features that force us to be your test dummies and don't respect our boundaries. QUIT IT

the only use case for scraping streaming data is to create fake streamers to scam your users. nobody wants that but scammers.

This Gen. AI slop got to be dropped full stop, antithesis of creativity.

Might as well allow bot viewers if you're gonna implement bot streamers, only thing that'll watch that trash.

Implementing a system that uses all streams to train genAI will absolutely tank the platform. No one wants to see their work or the work of people they enjoy watching taken without any compensation to make uncreative imitations in hope of replacing said creators.

please stop. just.. stop. we're all tired, and we hate this, and if you go through with this it will be catastrophic

if your shareholders are holding you ******* over this choice, blink twice

"Opted out" should be the default position of all add-ons, but especially the ones half of your streamers have spent hours railing against.

I don’t know that I can really add more to the comments here that hasn’t already been said. Using twitch streamers’ content to train AI and only allowing them to opt out of ‘some of the training’ is violating and frankly, spitting in the face of every creative on the face on the planet, not just streamers. Allow complete-opt out. This is absolutely preposterous.

Generative AI is inherently a negative thing for a platform to implement. I will stream on Kick before I stream on a platform that steals my content to feed some piece of **** bot.

The fact that every website and service is making themselves worse to try to make AI a thing tells me that you shouldn't implement it at all. Of course it should be opt-out by default but we all know it's so bad nobody would use it and you'd look dumb. Now you're trying to steal people's content assumadly to replace them with slop AI streams that you own. You might not have competition right now but you'll lose viewers and streamers trying this stuff.

This will do irreversible damage to the trust of both streamers and viewers. The sunk cost sunk fallacy is not worth it.

Not only will I and the other people here promising the same, stop streaming on Twitch if you try to force it, but so will many others as well, likely including major streamers that are more than willing to do the same, to not have their streams used to train AI. Major streamers that keep the website afloat from their revenue cuts and advertising payment cuts.

Forcing people to use AI features, or forcing that their channel is used for AI training, will only just lead to the website's decline from most people leaving.

Keep gen ai out of twitch. If you wanna keep the site up and runnin, be smart and don't impliment it - Y'all will lose the trust of everyone who used twitch and quite honestly I wouldn't be shocked if tons and tons of people leave the site.

Quite simply, implementing AI training will plummet your userbase massively. You will lose streamers, you will lose viewers, and you will ABSOLUTELY lose Prime and Turbo subscribers (I know that's what actually matters to you), so you either make it all optional and opt-out by DEFAULT or Twitch as a platform will cease to be competitive. This platform has been aiming at its own foot for a while. Don't pull the trigger on this.
