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 will be removing all of my content from this website if you attempt to feed my streams into Gen AI or attempt to show me Gen AI. I do not want it and the general consensus of the internet should make it clear that neither does anyone else.

I do not want my likeness voice or anything about my channel to be used for training AI. I do not give consent to this.

Better yet, don't have AI features at all. I *will* leave the platform if you try to make this a thing.

I want AI nowhere near my content or my community. I stream for myself and my viewers, NOT so you can train a glorified word association algorithm.

Allow creators to opt-out of the ai features by default, because otherwise I am moving off Twitch to stream on Kick, YouTube, RPlay, etc.. I am happy to watch Twitch become another GenAI cesspool while I comfortably make money for and on other platforms

I’m not touching anything Amazon again if Twitch starts training Gen AI and/or forcefully integrating it with our streams. Spent years building a community on here but I will leave it so fast if it comes to that. It will no longer be worth it to stay.

As a streamer, having my content fed to a machine seems purely insulting, like you're intending to replace me so you don't have to pay me what already meager payments you give me.
As a viewer, stripping away the human element, the reason people watch streams in the first place, is a foolish move, because you already see it with streamers who get 'to big', where people will just go elsewhere.
As a moderator for several streamers, the hardest thing I fight with, these days, is your weirdly sensitive 'enhanced' automod detection. I'd rather you focus on fixing THAT instead of trying to jam everyone's streams through an AI filter. None the less the obnoxiousness of the 'Twitch, clip that' function which is easily abused by TTS bots.
In summary, Generative AI, LLMs and that are not up to par to be included in the streaming area yet, and you should hold off, if you want to avoid considerable financial duress.
But hey, if you're trying to finally kill of Twitch, this is the way to go.

I don't want this. I don't want my content to feed a greed machine. What even is the purpose for it? it's unnecessary!!!

I have been using this platform as a viewer for 15 years and a streamer for 13. If using streaming content to train generative AI LLMs becomes the norm, I will be immediately removing my existing subscriptions, content, and account without a second thought.

These features should absolutely not be on by default. Some people, like myself, are on breaks, and we shouldn't come back to find our content used to train AI because we weren't here to turn it off.

I want absolutely no part in anything related to AI. This will de-facto kill off significant swathes of viewership, for a technology that is NOT profitable for ANY company. I never consented to AI when I became an affiliate, and I never will. This also likely violates the GDPR.

from my perspective twitch is supposed to be a personal experience between me, the creator and the rest of the creators community.
regardless if im the creator or a viewer in both cases im strictly against ai being trained on what i would consider to be a private situation because doing so would make "private" interactions publically available to every user of the ai as it would be able to repeat what happened in any of those moments.
Even if legally this isnt a violation of privacy i still consider it personally as one and it would make me consider to stop using twitch entirely.
Also such a giant data harvesting operation should be opt in and not opt out, so that only people explicitly agreeing to be ok with this are actually included. historically opt out has had a horrible track record of people only becomming aware after the warning period and data being collected before people are even aware it exists and can voice there opinion to it.
I see this as an intentional trap to trick people in to participating with something thats known to be unpopular with the larger twitch community.
I do not know what the goal is to do with this training data but if it has anything to do with replacing people then that would make twitch pointless if your remooving the human part of human interactions, interacting with a robot is either not nearly as fun or if thats what i desire i can just go to my chatbot rather then twitch or amazon for a better experience. -

******* you force AI down my throat I will find a way around it and mess your AI up well beyond repair. Keep AI off twitch, you lot are acting just as stupid as Sony is right now being tone deaf. AI is the kiss of death make it optional or sod off.

Do not let AI steal people’s work who are actually putting in the time to create as opposed to running a soulless plagiarism machine.

Please, please do not do this. There are so many reasons not to do this. I'll list them: 1. It's morally bad and supports a technology that hurts the environment. 2. It tells your creators you do not care about what they've done. You see what they've made as chum. 3. There is no way they can pay you properly for the value of the data. If you even want to do that. 4. Any AI integration will cost you more than it will make. The industry is on fire and is not profitable. It's on fire. This is a bad investment. Moderating AI content will be a nightmare. 5. It is a lawsuit generator for Twitch as a platform and will bite you later very badly.
Please, please don't do this. I will dramatically scale down my twitch viewing if this becomes normal. Both because I have a moral opposition to this but also because the platform will clog with it very, very rapidly.
