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.

Stop asking people to participate in genAI nonsense. Creators do not want it. Their communities do not want it.

I may not be a big channel, but I will put whatever energy I have for streaming into ensuring that your service becomes a ghost town if you keep pushing on scraping our channels to feed the machine.
The public already hates LLMs and generative AI. On top of that, you’ll basically be training your model on a mountain of copyrighted material. So if you insist on chasing this particular car, I suppose I’ll just wish you the best of luck should you happen to catch it.

Cancel every single AI project you have in the works before this bubble pops and you're left holding the bag filled with trash. This will destroy your platform and everything people love about it.
I don't consent to being used to train AI and I shouldn't have to opt out.

I will immediately stop using twitch if AI is used or trained on my channel.

if twitch and it's connected services implement ai model training and make it opt in by default, i will use competing services and avoid using twitch

I would not watch streams on Twitch anymore without this

Implementing GenAI will kill Twitch. Do not go through with this.

Instead of opt-in, how about you keep it out entirely, and also keep your user base? If this goes though I will find somewhere else to stream.

GenAI is a bubble and will be bursting sooner rather than later. And that's not even getting into the environmental costs.

Do not. I repeat do NOT impliment this gen ai stuff into twitch. I don't consent and have no idea what kinda nonsense y'all do in the office during the day. But scraping our videoes to make some weird generative Vtuber or whatever is weird, creepy, a waste of energy, and loses the whole point of twitch existing.
I say ******* to ai scraping
And it should be OPT OUT BY DEFAULT. -

Not only is this a bad idea but it is also dangerous for twitch.
Like people who stream games without a HUD or a video of themselves on there are basically sending raw videogame footage to you. Nintendo and other litigious companies will not be happy to see you training data on their raw footage -

This is actually entirely insane a thing to even ENTERTAIN the idea of. I will not stream with this kind of potential to train AI for my voice, the things I play or do. I hardly stream as is with my life being busy, but this would not make me comfortable to keep projecting myself on your platformer. Regurgitating me or people I follow, people I know and care for deeply for whatever you or anyone with their hands on this desires.
Please Do Not Do This At All.

Something like AI in twitch should have the option to be opted out by default. Generative AI has no place in creative spaces. Nobody asked for this feature, and nobody wants to see the regurgitation machine spit out poor, pale imitations of their works.

I do not consent to my streams being used to train generative AI. I do not want generative AI on Twitch. If my content is going to be used for AI against my wishes, I will not use Twitch, and move to another competitor. Do not make our streams automatically opted in for training AI.

AI has no place anywhere, including streaming. All it does it make people not want to use Twitch for any reason. If there is an option to opt out, I'll opt out because I want nothing to do with this.

it baffles me that companies try to push for ai in everything so hard just cuz they sunk a ton of money into it so they have to use it. it has been proven again and again there is little to no real monetary return in shoving something no one wants down people's throats. creators should have at the very least the choice if they want their own content used for training.

im not surprised that an amazon company thinks that forcing us to train their llms is a great idea during the last gasps of the widely loathed llm industry
who knows though maybe if this causes an exodus other streaming websites might become more successful -

It shouldn't Opt-in, it should be NON EXISTANT. Your creators are not free labor to feed to some jack-off's AI slop machine. No one wants this, no one but the biggest dumbasses on the site will even opt-in, and we all know this is to pave the way for AI streamers to replace human streamers; then you'll want to ID people so you know you are advertising to real people and not bot views watching bot streamers. Why don't you do something about the AI bot viewer ads showing up in people chats; I've seen so many small streams be spammed by bots saying: "Click here for for free AI powered viewers." Do something about those!! F*ck you, f*ck AI! You are one of the best game streaming sites, you can win at being the go to game streaming site by doing nothing; but instead you wanna be a dumb*ss and make your userbase hate you by adding some dumb sh*t.
Also f*ck you Amazon

Why do we have to keep pushing against ai features when the majority of creatives want to have nothing to do with it?
Or are vehemently against it?Stop pushing this waste of technology onto us. Give us actual features like proper blocking and ease of access or disability functions for more options to our viewers.
Or stabilize the servers for proper broadcasting
ANYTHING BUT AI. NO AI.

Gen AI has no place in our creative spaces and it's utterly despicable that Twitch thinks they can use our content to steal from us just to train Gen AI. There should be an opt out option for all of it because it's important for us to have a say and a choice, not opting us in by default. This is not the first time Twitch has done something shady like this i.e. the AI twitch clips. This is not okay.
