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.

Hey so as an affiliate creator I don't consent to my content being stolen and used for ai in anyway. I will never give another cent to twitch if ai is implemented into the site. You will not get my content or my views on the site until it is removed. Please don't implement this I do enjoy twitch as a platform and I don't want to leave but I will if you implement ai into the site.

No to AI, and opt-in IF AT ALL. NO AI.

This is by far the stupidest choice the twitch staff can make. On top of actively stealing from the creators and personalities that made Twitch what it is today, this will only drive the quality into the dirt, making anything and everything as formulaic and cookie cutter as possible. Using GenAI AT ALL, let alone in the fashion, will sap and murder the charm and charisma of the content that actively draws viewers, and membership in. All that will be left is bots feeding into bots. Do Not Do This.

Absolutely not ok to not allow content creators and users to control how their content is being used. If you're going to force AI on the platform, at least give folks some sort of power to not participate.

No to AI and opt-in by default are both things I support.

To be honest, if this happens in any capacity, even if it's possible to opt-out, I'd likely stop using Twitch at all.

I don't want this. No one wants this. There is no integration that could possibly ever justify the use of any AI-powered "feature" on this website and I will terminate my account if anything I broadcast is used for training. Anything.

No, i don't care if you can opt out, I don't want it at all. Its barely helpful as is, and its not good for humans or the environment so I don't want it at all on this platform.

This is very dangerous to streamers as it could be used for deepfakes and such and should be very much be not considered for the platform. Twitch doesn't need to copy other websites nor copy other ideas. It needs to be itself and it needs to support what creators it has. I know very well that Gen AI would kill Twitch's revenue opportunities, while also increasing the site costs to run. If someone in the business would read this, note this WILL NOT increase profit; this will kill Twitch. Thanks.

Reconsider this. Gen AI training off of people's hard work in unethical and serves only to make the platform money (while killing the planet more, thanks), while creators won't see a cent as a result of any training data used from their content. If you continue to go through with this, at the very least make sure creators have a choice in this! Opt-out by default, make the features optional!

There is absolutely no excuse for using our streams to train your generative AI or implementing any of the genAI features that have been rumored over the past few months. If any of the proposed AI features are added, creators and viewers are going to leave the site in droves for your competitors.

Generative AI is unappealing and completely against everything that makes twitch a website worth being on.

If the demand as written here is not followed, I will not use this platform.

I am firmly against any and all AI usage on Twitch. If the horrible decision to add AI features is made, it absolutely should be opt-out by default and be up to the individual creators to approve.

I am inclined to heartily agree with this idea. Making any and all AI features Opt-Out by default is the most professional and, more importantly, respectful design. Implementing a feature and then forcing it on your user base is a horrendous business practice. Roll out the feature, leave it Opt-Out by default, make a post telling people about it, and let them choose whether they want to use it or not.
To do otherwise is not improving Twitch for Creators, it is claim jumping for the enrichment of Twitch's bottom line.

i'd suggest you keep AI slop off twitch entirely if you want to keep making money off of genuine creators (the one group of people famous to have strong anti-AI stances)

Genuinely, what incompetent pile of ***** do you have running your company? You have users crashing cars while streaming? Not banned. You have users DAILY talking about how "this race is inferior" and talking about how theyre a funnel for a literal white supremacist, permabanned? No. Users who make their entire content trying to create drama and harassment, banned? Nope
Now you wanna do this AI ****, that will inevitably fail, because noone in the real world actually wants it
Eat ****
