As a Twitch user, I do not want to be fed AI-generated content, and as a creator I do not want my content to be fed to AI. Forcing AI use betrays trust in Twitch as a platform for creators, and it makes me want to use the platform significantly less.

The fact that this could even exist without being optional is so baffling to me. It just proves to your user base that you care more about AI than not only the viewers that give you money but also the streamers that are the backbone of your website.

Hey uh, don't? Thanks. I and many others are vehemently AGAINST gen AI in all its forms. I do not want it on twitch AT ALL but at the very least let us opt out, and make being opted out the default.

AI must not be excessively used to a point where it replaces us humans, who give our blood, sweat, and tears to a wonderfully creative community. Humans should be the ones in control of Twitch.

Would rather not have it happen at all. But if it's gonna be here then absolutely it needs to be opt-in not opt-out.

I want nothing to do with generative AI tech, I have no interest in watching stuff made with it, I have even less interest in being used as content to train it. The whole point of streaming for a live audience, for a live platform is for there to be a genuine human connection between streamer and viewer.

gen ai not only can't give you that form of connection it's the direct opposite, it's a sickness that infects the core of our humanity, that threatens everything we hold dear as social creatures. Stop trying to shove it on us

I will echo many of my fellow streamers in this thread: I do not want any AI, generative or otherwise, to have a place on Twitch. At the bare minimum, if these features come to pass, then there should be opt-in/out features and they aren't opted in by default.

I absolutely do not consent to having AI invade my channel. I want the option to opt out. In fact if Twitch is going to insist on having it, make it an opt-in feature so we have it turned off by default.

Absolutely no one wants their streams to be used for AI training. People work very ******* everything they put into their streams, and to have it trained into the slop machine is not only upsetting, but incredibly insulting for the people who are making money for Twitch. Screwing over your own userbase is a never a good idea. If mandatory AI training is put through, I will never use Twitch again, nor will anyone I know.

While I'm not a streamer myself, every single streamer I watch has made a statement that they are ready to leave if Twitch commits to the decision to use streams to train AI.

NO ONE ACTUALLY WANTS THIS.

I don't want people's hard work to train AI and I don't want to watch AI. The bare minimum is to add an actual opt-out feature, maybe actually compensate the people you'll basically be stealing their identity from, but this is ridiculous.

AI should NOT be welcomed in a space that is primarily—or completely—run by humans. AI does not belong in creative spaces at all. It takes people’s years to build their communities, and a machine cannot replicate something like that. I do not consent to my voice, my likeness, or my content, future and current, to be used to train AI.

I am absolutely opposed to ai on twitch.

I do not want Gen AI training on the streams I watch, the messages chatters send, any of it. There is no good reason to do this as a company. No good reason morally, no reason that would improve the platform for me as a viewer, and no reason that benefits them as a company. AI is a loser technology that serves as nothing but an endless pit for money and fuel to be fruitlessly dumped into. It is a cancer to creativity and is doomed to fail and everyone can see that.

I do not want AI trained on my content. I do not want to view AI generated content on Twitch. I would like to see all AI features removed completely from the platform. That time should instead be devoted to improving channel discoverability, improving tools available to streamers (the dashboard tells me I have record viewers every other day, even when lower than the last time it was shown) and the experience for the audience.

In the era of nonstop slop that people widely dislike Twitch could be the platform focused on being human.

You guys tried using AI for just the different category's thumbnails a year or two ago, and that went awfully, so why are you continuing to try? You are actively trying to steal from people to create their competition. Why would anyone want this? Why do you think it's okay to automatically opt people into it if you feel the need to do it anyways? It is not okay to force this on people. If it was actually something at all ethical that you trusted people to be willing to use, you wouldn't have to force people to play along until they figure out how to turn it off. This isn't okay, people do not want AI, especially creators. You're going to kill your platform if you don't back off with this.

I will never consent to having myself or my art be datascraped for your planet-killer plagiarism slop. As a member of a community of furry artists that have thrived on Twitch, any move to enforce this, either by default or default opt-in, will see every last cent given to this platform rightfully vanish.

Oof, first the entertainment industry edging out creatives and now Twitch? That really sucks. Twitch really needs to reconsider this before we all reconsider Twitch as our main platform. Like so many others here, I do not, nor will I ever willingly consent for my content or likeness to be used for GenAI.

If the genAI training system goes through and is on by default, I am moving to youtube :D

Literally no one wants this

i do not want AI on the platform at all. opt-out should be there by default regardless of anything else.
