It took me YEARS to build a community and I will NOT sit here and watch it be tainted by AI....

AI is not welcomed here, there or anywhere that is even near trying to replicate actual talented and beloved human beings. There’s no point in training something genuine and live, it’s evil and goes against any kind of consent to any kind of creator on any platform let alone Twitch. I and many people will leave if this decision isn’t removed, humans aren’t replaceable!

If Twitch forces this on us, I'm deleting my account. I don't care how much progress I've made, I'll gladly burn it in protest. AI needs to be gone

I have NO interest in involving genAI in my content or for my content to be used for it either. This is very disappointing to hear.

Sincerely, what the **** is the AI training even for? Nobody wants AI generated streams. Please focus on making the platform good for human users instead.
I stream to have a good time with friends, not to be used to train AI video generation or whatever garbage. Nobody wants this.

I also do not, and never will, consent to my voice, my streams, my likeness or anything else being fed into AI.

I don’t think there’s a good reason to add AI to Twitch in any capacity but the absolute worst one you could do is the one that makes all of the people who use your platform want to leave immediately or be stolen from and replaced by a ‘more efficient’ model. Do you not already drain enough from the people that make your platform work at all, now you have to take their very creativity from them?

Quite frankly I know my voice isn't gonna make a change purely because I'm not a big-money name or face, I'm someone who does it for the love of the game. Regardless, implementing genAI is going to burn a hole into the proverbial pockets of not just your streamers, but your entire clientele and Twitch as a corporation moreover. Nobody likes genAI except people who don't understand or don't care to understand the real impact it has on marginalized, poor, Black and Brown communities, and the people in power who think this is a money-printing machine (Spoiler, it's not.)

Even if you do implement them, the very bare minimum level of respect you owe to your streamers, your partners, the companies you run ads for, and everyone who uses Twitch.tv overall is to NEED to opt-in for the AI training. It should not EVER be opt-out and the choice to have their likeness, voice, content, and more used for genAI training should ALWAYS be in the hands of the people who you're trying to train off of.

Do better.

No one wants generative AI, no one wants their streams to train AI. Terrible decision that will ruin Twitch

I have ZERO interest in genAI

I first came to twitch not long after it had seperated from parent website Justin.tv. In the 15 years since I have seen all sorts of communities and creators, and I have seen all sorts of people stumble and fail, or give up streaming for one reason or another. I cannot think of a quicker and easier way to destroy this platform than to use it as an AI breeding ground. Streamers and viewers alike value sincerity on this platform over almost anything else, and introducing AI to this platform, among a gaming heavy community, who famously do not appreciate AI, undermines a decade and a half of reputation built by Twitch. It is not enough that some, or indeed all of it, may be opt-outable. If Twitch wishes to lose relevance and market share to its competitors, this is the way to do it. If they wish to remain a reputable platform with independant presence and a variety of streamers of all sizes, they will not allow AI on the platform.

We DO NOT want our content being used for AI training!!

Twitch is BUILT upon PEOPLE watching PEOPLE. Why would I want to watch Ai? Why l would I want MY content and hard work be used to train Ai?? Anything that gets Ai incorporated into it I have dropped and switched to an alternative; I WILL do the same for Twitch, and I know others will too. I would much prefer ya'll to not add Ai AT ALL, but I'm willing to bet there's already money sunk into this, so you won't not add it, so at LEAST make it completely optional and opt-out by DEFAULT.
This is on TOP of all of the extremely harmful repercussions Ai has on the environment, which would be increased by incorporating it into Twitch since its a live streaming platform that runs 24/7 (but ya'll don't care about the environment, we know this already).

The only thing that comes out of this as opt-in by default is an absolute mess. Like someone up top is chasing that bubble without even stopping to consult the legal teams on retainer. TOS isn't that strong an opt-in by default won't cover it. Creators don't want it, viewers don't want it, and it puts Twitch/Amazon in hot water which brings costs to argue out of. It needs to at the very least be opt-out by default for the sake of everyone involved.

**** AI. REMOVE ALL OF IT. It is toxic to the planet and everything on it. It hurts artists, jobs, and just... EVERYTHING. Stop sucking up to billionaires and grow a spine. DROP AI IT IS NOT THE FUTURE! NO ONE WANTS IT!

**** AI, and ******** for even CONSIDERING it.

Stop AI trash.

Do not implement these AI features that are being talked about. The results will be detrimental to the entire platform and I will not be partaking in it.

literally no one wants this, and if you don't have it so that creators can opt out, you're going to lose a lot of creators who do not want their livelihood/hobby to feed into AI, and cause a lot of people to quit streaming. please do not do this.

No just NOOOOOOOOO to this AI SLop ********
