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.

AI should play a VERY minimal role on twitch and it should not ever be forced onto streamers. I highly advise against using AI at all to be honest.

As a viewer, I would opt to move away from Twitch as much as possible, and possibly leave the platform entirely if AI features are integrated in a heavy handed way.

Twitch should note that streamer content is copyrighted intellectual property and its unauthorized theft for use in AI training is grounds for legal action.

Hey so as an affiliate creator, I know i dont matter as much, but i dont consent to my content being stolen and used for ai in anyway. This is the STUPIDEST move ever, why does ai have to be everywhere when it doesnt do anything but make everything worse. It doesn't improve ANYTHING, like at all. Tech bros and idiots that use ai won't supplement or maintain your platform AT ALL so why rely on an already provenly failing useless system like ai?

Yeah this ain’t it. Would yank turbo and just stick to either VODs elsewhere or whatever creators decide away from this if implemented

even if whomever Big Buisness Person (tm) reading this doesnt care about the effects of GenAI this WILL kill at least 3 quaters of the userbase.

I'm a very casual Twitch viewer and streamer, but I don't want my streamed used to train AI.

AI should not be using a streaming site for learning. This will kill most if not all of your revenue.

AI is awful. Just let us be creators.

Generative AI features will only drive away passionate and honest creators, leaving behind an AI slop dumping ground, which no-one is going to want to be around. Don't keep feeding the GenAI beast, it's already bad enough as it is.

Read the room. No one asked for this and it's offensive to have even gestured towards it.

Every creator who cares about their own face voice aesthetic or anything that makes you uniquely you will be against this

As a long time viewer and as a streamer, I will only stay on Twitch.tv if AI features are optional and opt-out by default. I would honestly prefer NO generative AI implementation at all.

Streamers will respond to forced AI ingestion by finding ways to salt their streams and destroy your models.

even proposing this is such an insult to the people who have built this company into what it is. we all hate it and it will find other ways to support the creators we love if it means avoiding ai

My answer? *******! I refuse to allow AI to be a part of anything to do with Twitch! I only just started streaming again after a 4 year forced hiatus, and to come back to this possibility? No! Absolutely not!

WHY DO YOU NEED TO ADD AI?
OPT-OUT AND MAKE IT NOT ANNOYING FOR THE CREATORS.
OR KEEP IT OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE

If AI is integrated the way higher-up want it to be implemented, DESPITE there being even internal conflicts over this issue, it will practically crumble Twitch as a whole. The people who use this site, streamers and viewers, and what they say should be top priority in any decision made.
To act like this would not have a negative impact on the people that use the site as well as the company itself would be intentionally being ignorant to the overall problems generative AI has caused in both the environmental sense and the economical sense. As luzbel12377 has stated in an earlier statement, Amazon (and by proxy, Twitch) has already seen a $309.1B net loss after introducing AI into parts of the company targeted at consumers. Some of your BIGGEST STREAMERS are against the very notion of generative AI, and this move would more than likely take those same streamers to sites that care about their words over corporate wants, much like many other streamers are already (justifiably) taking steps to do or have already done.

This would be the nail in the coffin for a lot of users, myself included. I've dealt with questionable choices on the platform over my 12 years of being partnered, but I can't continue to make content if thats the route we are going.
