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.

I do not consent to my data being scraped to train generative AI. AI continues to destroy the environment, lives, jobs, and communities. An online community is still a community. You would be forcing those with principle to leave to other platforms, or even quite streaming altogether. I myself will stop all streaming and pull out of Twitch entirely. No more subscriptions, no more ad revenue, and forced to leave behind all the wonderful people I have met along the way. No generative AI, no generative AI-related content, no training LLMs on creator content.

Of all the ideas amazon and twitch have come up with, this is absolutely the worst and dumbest. Want to lose most of your streamers and viewers, and therefore your revenue? Go ahead with this plan. Because it'll cost you your platform.

Don't add this to the website, I will actively find somewhere else to spend time and money.

**** GenAI. No touching it at all. Do what you have to if that's what it takes.

I will not stream, nor will I pay subscriptions for streamers, if you implement this. I will seek any non-Twitch source for streams I am interested in, such as GamesDoneQuick, something I have watched twice yearly and donated to for over a decade.

Keep AI off the website, it will tank you. You think it'll help, you think it'll be innovative, or maybe you couldn't care less and just want to raise shareholder value. It won't! Not for any length of time that matters. and it will tank whatever leftover good will you have in anybody who still looks at Twitch in any favorable light. Everybody hates it, everybody hates it everywhere, even if this ever was a good idea it's certainly past its prime now, everybody wants to opt out of all this incessant ******** and you will hemorrhage any half decent streamer that wants no part of this. Don't be stupid, pull the plug.

In fact, please don't implement any genAI features at all. They're not helpful and the companies selling them to you are not making profit that you could benefit from, so it's not even sound business.

No. AI.
No AI content or services for creators or viewers. No using our broadcasts to train AI. None of it.Not only are there the mountains of ethical reasons to not pursue implementing generative AI features, and not only does no one want it, we now have several years worth of data from how that stuff has been implemented across the tech industry and none of it suggests it's profitable. These things are how you destroy your product.
No. Just no.

If there is no opt out I will be seriously considering switching platforms. As a Vtuber, I have too much respect for the artists I work with to let their work be used to train AI without their consent.

This is a really ****** idea to let AI train off of other people's work especially if it's involves their own or other's IP. It opens up AI companies for lawsuits since people are already suing and complaining about their works and IPs being used to train AI.
Like really? You want to waste money, water, and people's health only to have to pay a settlement in the end because "AI is the future"? The future of what? It's not even a good future by how it is impacting the present by destroying people's jobs, environment, and health. That is not even going into how artists, writers, and musicians have to battle against accusations that their creative hard work is AI.

Twitch streamers, on the whole, have been battling various forms of AI for years. We don't like advertising bots, we don't like generative AI, and we will not let our streams be stolen for content when the whole point of Twitch is to interact with real people ???

Best way to get users to delete and never return. Instead of trying to sell us out to generative AI, please put genuine effort into dealing with the bot problem in a way that does not punish streamers for using streaming. Currently looking into alternative platforms in case this happens.

genAI is nothing but slop, theft, and destruction. putting my brand as a cyberpunk against corpos aside, i am very against genAI in my personal life. if someone wants to steal my data, they can at least pay me for it. twitch supporting this is not only going to ruin the livelihoods of so many of its streamers, it's going to kill the platform as a whole. genAI is not profitable.
