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 absolutely do not want any kind of generative AI integration with Twitch. If you do this, I will stop using Twitch and will encourage others to stop using Twitch as well.
If you need metrics, Google reported their first loss in 22 years after investing in generative AI. You will lose everything if you do this. -

AI has no safeguards or regulations in place, and I don't want my data or content being misused. AI also makes a lot of mistakes, and I don't want my data or content being misrepresented. It is built off training models based in stealing content, and I don't support that. It produces half-baked slop as a result, which a real human who needs a job could produce better. It is killing the planet and costing us a fortune. There is no need for AI in this context. I do not support it on this platform, and if it is added, it must be optional and opt-out by default. Otherwise myself and many others will simply leave.

I want absolutely nothing to do with AI, especially on my streams.

Generative AI is a plague on this planet and on its people. We all know shareholders are forcing implementation of it to try and find a way to crank out more money in a way that just isn't going to work, and worse so at the expense of the Earth, which by the way, is the only planet you can spend money on. It's extremely shortsighted, it's never going to work, and we're all going to suffer for it's continued forced implementation across various platforms.

If there is no option to disable this then I fully intend to stop using twitch.

I want nothing to do with Twitch if AI is being trained off of the hard work of my peers.

The cons of AI vastly outweigh any perceivable pros. Everything it touches is tainted and made worse. Stop pushing it on people who clearly don't want it, and absolutely don't need it.

This is absolutely not okay, I don't want a single shred of AI in my life.

The vote ought to be abolishing the idea of training AI from streamers footage! In fact, abolish AI period! The data centers literally destroy the world they are around, AI itself inflicts cyberpsychosis, and it deprives what makes creation special! DEATH TO AI! DESTROY THE DATA CENTERS!

******* to AI training. The idea this would even be considered is disappointing yet not terribly surprising

No AI, period no if's and's or but's. DO NOT ADD AI "FEATURES" TO TWITCH. Generative AI is a blight on society and creatives everywhere and should be burned out like the plague it is.

I've been streaming on Twitch for 17 years, and partnered for 13 of those. If there is no way to opt out of Twitch using my channel to train GenAI, I am gone. This is some ********.

I am so sick of every AI feature being forced on users on every platform. If you don't have the confidence that users will elect to turn it on willingly, and you insist on being underhanded about it instead, that's an obvious tell that it's a bad feature.
I do not want this. It should by no means be on by default. Opt IN only (though I'd rather not see it anywhere near Twitch at all, because there's literally no way for us to confirm you're not using our stuff anyway). This is a violation of consent.
Good thing there are plenty of other places to stream these days if this becomes a thing. o/ goodbye twitch, if so!

Generative AI and data training have been proven time and time again to be extremely harmful to the environment and simultaneously sunk cost ventures that are just as/more complicated while also being more expensive than having regular people at the helm. The idea that my streams would be used to train this disaster software is sickening, and I will absolutely not myself to go along with it.
There are other platforms that I could give my business to. I will not hesitate to delete all my vods before I ever let them be used to train the replacement for people.
Choose very carefully Twitch, make
The right decision. -

I would strongly prefer there to be zero AI usage on Twitch, but if we can't have that, please at least allow us to opt out. The uproar over AI generated emotes should have been a sign to Twitch that viewers and streamers are not interested in AI being a part of the platform in any way shape or form. This is disappointing, and I, like many others, will stop using Twitch as a result of AI integrations being added.

Opt-out by default is the BARE MINIMUM acceptable stance on all AI features and training to keep Twitch a usable platform. Anything less than that will not only encourage, but NECESSITATE streamers to abandon the platform.

If generative AI training is implemented on Twitch it will be the death of the site, genuinely. Making it opt out by default is the bare minimum, and it being present on the site at all will make me and thousands of others seriously reconsider using Twitch regardless.

twitch continues to exist because of strong communities and support networks, ai spits in the face of everything that means to us. please don't do this, we deserve the power of choice, we deserve transparency, we deserve to be treated with basic human decency and not as "just another prompt source." you are human too, yes?

Not being Opted in automatically is just the baseline for what should be done, I'd argue ""AI"" LLMs should not be allowed to have any content from the site fed into them at all.
I've been a streamer on the platform for almost a decade at this point, I will heavily consider leaving for another if LLM use begins at all.
