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.

There shouldn't be a "maybe" about the ability to opt out of letting a technology known to have horrible repercussions for the environment, make up lies and regularly hallucinate, and be generally not useful for nearly every single application it's forcibly crammed into for the sake of somehow making a profit (which it's also well documented that nearly every company using it's recorded massive, massive losses, including Amazon itself) scrape and steal everything from all its users and creators. I do not wish for these AI features in any capacity, so I would appreciate not being forced to either live with them or do a total upheaval. I'd prefer not having some poor facsimile of me available to be a puppet at someone else's whims.

Forcing Generative AI features on creators will lead many like myself to pursue other platforms or other means of engaging with our communities. As stated by many others, this would be the nail in the coffin for a lot of viewers. Please listen to your creators who have been cautioning against this for some time now.

Good suggestion, I hope Twitch listens and allows opt outs because I don't think I'll even be sticking around as a watcher if they don't.

An ai to steal from not just creators but also whatever games or art they're streaming? This is terrible!

I very strongly believe not to assume malice where incompitence is sufficient an explanation. There is no future in generative AI, everyone who pays any amount of attention to its general reception and extremely damaging environmental impacts can see that. These features, if they are implemented, will only be used by bad actors to create deepfakes and no-effort content farms, while real creators' hard work gets stolen and unrewarded. It's time to fold before you bust, assuming a bust isn't already inevitable.

gen AI is one of, if not THE worst forms and tools for AI and AI in general. this is an awful idea and should not be used for the future of twitch.

This is an absolutely horrible idea that will somehow be used against all content streamers in one shape or from from genuine human growth.
Ai has taken so much from creators because it went into many wrong hands.
This will just ***** us more. please reconsider. -

For the love of all that is holy, can we stop with the unnecessary AI tools??? NO ONE IS ASKING FOR THIS. I do not consent to having my content used for training AI garbage! It's bad enough as it is being an artist in the middle of all of this. Whether you can opt out or not, just don't add this. No one wants it, no one asked for it, no one needs it. Enough.

Any and all AI features at MINIMUM should be optional and opted out by default. It is not Twitches "duty" to contribute to it's parent companies greed for generative AI. Twitch would be nothing without the creatives that continue to fuel it and it's greatly insulting to look at those people and say they are fodder for a database they don't consent to feeding into. This opens up IRL streamers to revenge **** and deepfakes, it exposes vtubers/artists to art theft, and with the newer inclusion of musical artists like DJs they risk feeding the machine to put them out of work. Please reconsider your plan as the "good" does no out weigh the consequences.

As an Affiliate Streamer and as a Viewer I do not want anything AI no tools, not training, no extra data collection. I will not consent to past, present nor future streams being used for AI. And you add anything that is not removable/able to opt out,I will quit the platform cold turkey even if it sucks for me financially.

I think the other comments here speak for themselves. People do not want this. Executives talk to each other an ai exclusively at this point so they think people want this. They do not. Stop. Get some help and touch grass.

You've seen the reception that your AI emote received. This is much bigger and you will lose users over this. Just don't.

This is perhaps the most heinous thing proposed in a while. Extremely alarming that anyone on the platform could have their voice, image and content used to train the plagiarism and global warming machine. Serious legal issues with likeness, on top of other issues like deepfakes and malicious spam calls using so voices. No one should be opted into this at all, if it even comes to fruition (it should not)
