GenAI is a disgusting abomination of all of human creativity, something you want the site to thrive on and be known for. Either drop this braindead idea entirely or Twitch will be a ghost town.

I don't want to allow my voice, streams and appearance to be fed into AI. Don't do this.

AI is the worst possible thing to force into Twitch given how it's being used to exploit people and produce some of the most heinous materials. This would be the end of Twitch if they forced it on us

Having AI implementation is stupid at best. Whether or not people are opted into it, AI has no right or reason to be leeching off people in a creative space, be it Twitch, or any other platform. Being able to opt out should be the baseline standard, but AI shouldn't be implemented under any circumstance to begin with. This is a selfish decision as usual by those in charge only looking to help themselves, the rich, and the powerful. I am frustrated and exhausted at all the absolutely pointless AI being funneled into every facet of life. No AI on Twitch, full stop. Anyone who wants to play with AI that badly can talk to ChatGPT on their own time. Don't make it everyone else's problem.

I will stop watching streams on twitch, shut down my account, delete any remaining video on the platform from when I streamed. No one wants this.

AI is the last thing twitch should implement into their frame work. If you want to keep good faith with your creators and viewers, this ain't it chief.

What would be the end goal? Streamers being replaced by bots with nothing unique to them? What would be the point of having the website if all the content is going to be the same slop? There's nothing that training an ai off of streamers and their content will solve. It's obvious we can't make an appeal to humanity because there is none. This is just a sad idea and extremely disappointing. If these features are not opt-out by default, then all of Twitch will suffer. Not just streamers.

The stubborn support of genAI will kill all platforms in the end, as no sane creator wants to be replaced in any way by a robotic entity. There is no upside to being replaced and copied. It will not bring joy and freedom to creators. It will kill them. This decision must be reversed and permanently buried, as no future will survive its implementation.

If I am forced into training AI with my streams, I will stop not only streaming on twitch, but watching on twitch as well.

Better idea, don't use anything "AI" and don't use it at all. Its an invasion of privacy, useless and what's the point?

Generative and Ai Scraping isn't the play. People are already looking for alternatives for twitch and this is just going to push even more people off your platforms. The future of streaming is personal creation, not ai. Ai isn't creative, the majority if your users do not even want this feature. Listen to those using the platform. No one agreed to their data and likeness being sold when we agreed to your TOS, nor will we agree if you update them.

If this gets added, Twitch is going to have a new worst day ever. I've been around since before Twitch was Twitch... Not everything need's AI.

Already taking a lot from creators, not listening to ideas to improve the platform.. and now trying to train AI on us? Jesus.

GenAI has no use in general and i see no reason to allow it on twitch in any capacity. nobody's going to watch AI slop streams. pushing it like this will only make people (viewers and creators) leave the platform

Streamers aren’t scraps of meat to throw at your glorified copy machine that poisons poor people. Show us some modicum of respect at least

I have dropped probably more than a thousand dollars on Twitch over the years and this is the kind of thing that could instantly cause me to stop using it entirely.

AI is a bubble. Its terrible. Nobody wants it. It will add no value. It will drive people away. We do not want it.

Not only are you gonna lose majority of your streamers, but also Nintendo will sue you for having your GenAI scrape nintendo games streaming

If AI becomes a thing that can steal my likeness, and possibly my family's likeness by association, then consider me done with this streaming platform.

opt out is not enough, they should not be allowed to use any stream as training data. can you imagine the outcome if all it trains on are the gambling and right wing streamers?

This seems like a massively tone deaf decision. The streamers and viewers don't want it. Putting resources toward this is just setting money on fire while areas that need development are neglected.
