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.

An obvious way to make a quick buck at the cost of creative integrity. The only people using this platform under any amount of AI influence will be desperate for income or worthless grifters. Don't destroy the last shred of good that Twitch exists for and have some self-respect.

AI is the death of creativity. You will quickly run people off a platform which seems to already be struggling to retain streamers and viewers. The integration of generative AI training is a slap in the face to all creators, and an unforgivable misstep for creative streamers. As an artist I am fighting against AI integration and theft daily, please do not run me off this platform. I love the community we have built over the years and would be so unbelievably devastated if you forced AI down my throat which would lead me to quit this platform entirely. Twitch, please listen to you creators!!!! WE DO NOT WANT THIS. If you take this step, it had better be something that every individual streamer has to *choose* to opt into. Didn't META just make the same attempt which was met with so much contempt and opposition that they walked it back?? Do not trap us by default, do not make the opt out impossible to find, and better yet: simply do not implement Generative AI training at all!

I would switch to a competing platform if this happened, and I’m sure many other affiliated or partnered creators would as well. This is an invasion of our privacy, a legal nightmare and kills the environment. Opt-in minimum but even if this happens with opt-in, I would still consider streaming on a different platform.

You should cut all AI, but at the least you should require both users and creators to Opt-In if they want to use it. The default should remain Opt-Out

This has to be, bar none, one of the most ludicrously banal ideas and the sheer audacity to even attempt to implement them is equally idiotic. Users deserve to opt out of ALL AI features and it should be the default, at MINIMUM. Scaling back to look at the whole picture, this feels like a purely executive decision because, really: who does this truly benefit? Certainly no one on the site. The flagrancy with which you intend to walk all over people's identity, privacy, and copyright is disgusting at best, abhorrent at worst.

This is dangerous, not only because its an invasion of privacy but that means AI is training on countless music, video games, art, and other material the streamer puts on the stream, regardless of how the person/people who made it feel. Frankly, I would prefer no AI features at all, but at least make it opt-out by default.

OPT-IN. DO NOT make us chase whatever sneaky things you try to force upon us day after day. I will stop streaming if you feed my streams to your horrendous AI slop machine. Shame on you for even thinking about doing this at all, and especially to the people who do not overtly volunteer their consent.

I'm so sick of people, that could be helping so many creators, succumb to corporate greed and cramming AI into every nook and cranny on the internet, as much as they possibly can. No one wants GenAI slop. I'm leaving Twitch if they implement scraping our content, our work, our blood, sweat, tears, and what WE take pride in.
It's wrong to force something on someone WITHOUT their consent AND it's NOT consent if you force the matter without giving us a choice.
We have a choice, Twitch, and you do too.
1. You can not implement scraping our streams and content for GenAI, which will help many of us and you make more money than AI ever could
OR
2. You can implement scraping our content, OUR LIFE'S WORK, and you can say goodbye to the majority if not every streamer on your precious little platform and all the money that you make off of us with it.
My finger is on the delete account button Twitch. What are you going to do with your long toothpick legs. /ref
Jokes aside: Don't do this. We, the actual hardworking creators on this platform, will make you regret it.

You remember that one episode of Freakazoid where he crashes out at the weird guy with the watch who asks him if he wants to see something strange and mystical?? And his first response is NO!!!
That's also me. Keep everything OPT OUT BY DEFAULT , DO NOT opt me in by default so I have to go in and opt out of everything that I shouldn't have had to do an opt out in the first place! I swear, that moment of Freakazoid screaming NO!!! is my reaction to anything on AI. Do not use me, my voice, or model for AI training, don't do AI summaries of my stream, I don't! Want! AI! On! My! Channel! Don't auto-clip me! Don't be on my channel at all! NO!!!

I don't want AI treating all the creatives I enjoy like free real estate. Horrendous idea to begin with, being opt out by default is the least that could be done.
