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.

Users like myself do not want AI as force feature let alone a feature to begin with for streaming content twitch. Given how enraged enduce AI topic is. Twitch can lose viewers and their stream if the force AI and make AI training as well. Look at SDCC 2026 with Avatar Panel for Avatar Movie. One slide showing casing AI. Turn what would have been a movie people would go to see. Don't bother and destroy film movement. If twitch wants to lose its user base. AI would be cause of it.

Don't even implement it in the first place. Full stop. Keep AI scraping out of twitch.

I would rather never see AI implementation and harvesting on Twitch at all. If there is no easy way to opt out and protect my work, I will leave the platform. I know other artists will as well.

i do not support the use of ai. i do not consent to my content to be used in training ai models. the inherent disconnect between the powers-that-be who make these decisions and the userbase they shove them into is quite discouraging, and i hope that there is enough pushback on this to make them second-guess an unwise and incredibly disappointing choices

It hurts the environment, it hurts streamers, and it hurts viewers. We can see that AI does not work. It hallucinates and makes stuff up near constantly. For every one thing it gets right, it will get ten others wrong. Whatever training that will be attempted will not work out, and we do not want to be used for training regardless of how accurate it could even be in the optimal case.
Do not want. Opt-out by default is the way to go.

******* do not use streaming data to train AI. I will never be polite about this, as the idea deserves nothing but scorn and the loss of even passive, normally guaranteed levels of respect. If it's EVER added in, force it to be [Opted Out] by default.
People hate AI because it's a poorly-used technology that wastes too many resources while giving other companies excuses for eliminating jobs while falling into their own sunk cost fallacies when they figure out how easy it is to introduce basic-***** errors into tasks by replacing human input and skill.
All of this while the core databases are predicated on theft. You now wish to steal from content creators to train AI.
It is not innovative. It is not creative. It's lazy and prone to error while costing way too **** much in water, electricity, and computing power to implement and invest into.
You were conned. Get over it and stop waving your imminent debt in everyone's faces.
Edit: You will also be training AI on copyrighted content, with consideration to streamers who are playing videogames or music live. If you're not asking every videogame developer and publisher for permission, you'd be stealing that too. And we all know how the music labels get.

These "AI" "features" better be opt-in. This trash absolutely shouldn't be happening on a platform where the WHOLE. POINT. is the creators that make it...
If people leave due to the "ai" "features" [read: SLOP] it would kill the platform quicker then anything else. and i wouldnt blame anyone for leaving.

I know y'all really struggle resist the idea of once again trampling over user consent and stealing their content to train the enviroment destroying plagiarism machine, but..... actually no buts, just ********, we don't want this!
Stop shoving AI onto everything! Nobody asked for it! Everyone hates it!

You have no idea the crapstorm this would unleash. I'd be out the second this "feature" was pushed.

Let people create and be creative without tainting it by dumping a bucket of sludge all over everything.
No one wants this. You're dooming this site to failure if this is made mandatory. PLEASE use your brain and make a smart decision.

I will not hesitate to switch platforms if I can not opt out of being used for AI content training without my consent. Its insane that anyone would think this is a good idea and whomever made the decision should be ashamed. Creators don't put hundreds of hours of loving care into their craft just for it to be used and abused by the platforms they trust. This decision shows a horrendous disconnect between the creators and the company and in a line of recent decisions this one is especially horrendous. AI isn't the future its a blatant attempt at theft from the creatively bankrupt. Its a means to save money and eliminate jobs for people who really need it for an end result that is slop garbage. I do not support this, and I especially don't support being forced to comply with AI stealing my work in any fashion.

Do not implement ANY AI features. If that's not an option, then we MUST have the option to opt out, and have it default to Opt Out. I do NOT want the garbage pipeline scraping actual human creativity to turn into slop for your shareholder sows to guzzle.

Better than opting out, dont implement AI period. I see Twitch has the shotgun pointed at their feet, DO NOT pull the trigger. If Ai is implemented with no way to disable it, I'll straight up stop using the platform.

Genuinely, if you push generative AI even further onto this platform, Opt-Out by default or not, I'm not going to use the platform, Ever Again, Full Stop. You guys can't have been blind to the public backlash against GenAI in the last few months- ****, the last few YEARS, right??? seriously, the people who actually want this, are in the Minority. Scrap the whole thing.

I take a break from streaming for a few years and was planning a return. If I see ANY generative AI SLOP on the site or my vtuber avatar which I worked MONTHS to make being fed into your SLOP GENERATOR, I will delete my account, possibly sue you for STEALING MY DATA FOR YOUR AI SLOP TRAINING, and move to either Kick or Rumble. Force all the streamers off the platform with this and it will kill Twitch all togehter! READ THE ROOM! NONE OF US WANT THIS!!!!
