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.

Using twitch streams to train AI is, in a word, abominable. In particular it would be theft on a massive scale from artists who stream their creative process on twitch. Completely unacceptable.

Please do not implement AI, or, make it optional and opt-in by default. This is incredibly unethical -- what would Twitch use this data for? There are genuinely no good answers?? What about underage streamers lying about their age??? Does Twitch staff not consider the legal ramifications of not just training off of potential underage streamers, but the legal and financial ramifications of training on licensed video games and content being streamed????

Honestly, you shouldn’t do this at all. And you shouldn’t even let this become a rumor. The INSANE amount of backlash this would receive should be obvious. AI is a scam.

Using AI for what is essentially a social aspect to entertainment really defeats the purpose of streaming in the first place.

No features using AI should even be ALLOWED. Full stop. Have they learned nothing from all the push back other companies get? No one wants this kind of AI. No one wants their data forcefully fed to AI. We're all sick and tired of it. If Twitch pushes any AI features, I'm never using the website again. Not for content, watching, subscriptions, nothing, and I will be imploring all of my friends and fellow creators to do the same.

Not only is this invasive but in some states as well as on certain federal levels, is actually illegal. This is stealing and using someone's likeness without their consent.
Keep AI off the platform entirely. Nobody wants it.

Absolutely NO to any AI training. Literally nobody wants this, and it will absolutely kill the platform. Even if it's opt-in by default, most of us will refuse to use a platform that trains AI on its users' content. This is not AI "training", it's theft, pure and simple. A platform that praises creativity and originality in content creation should know better than that.

I would ask "What the **** are the team thinking?", but that implies that they're human beings with conscious, sentient thoughts, which when shilling for GenAI is doubtful.

This kind of change should ALWAYS be opt-IN, not opt-OUT. Big changes such as these, ones that are as polarizing as the training data of AI, are ludicrously thought by companies to be the way of the future, but if someone wants to give the data, they should opt-in to that, not the other way around. We as creators, viewers, chatters, and lurkers, should not be hounded by the blindsiding and default scraping of our data like that. We deserve the right to choose, and choosing isn't being forced into something and then walking away, it's not having to do it in the first place if that's desired.

The only thing feeding streams into AI will do is make it easy for people to spread fake information about the people that stream on your platform, the people that are the only reason there is to come to this platform

Allow me to make this abundantly clear: I do not want any AI-powered tools or features on this website. I do not care if we can opt-out or not, I do not consent to my content being used for training purposes. If I discover my content was used in such a manner, I will deactivate my account and never use Twitch again.

Forcing streamers to have their content feed the AI slop machine should be a crime.

AI is poison and will actually kill Twitch. There is no possible gain that would outweigh the damage it would do
