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 switch to another streaming service if you go through with this decision.

Please do not place any AI features into Twitch. I have been a regular user for over seven years. A Turbo subscriber for over a year and still sub to multiple channels. I will end all subs and petition all the creators I view or collaborate with to find other platforms if you start with this environmentally damaging, plagiarizing tech. LLM's are deeply unethical in addition to being a loss leader for myriad adoptees. Please do not do this.

Having our content trained on without our consent is a huge effing mistake. One of the biggest reasons I hate this AI **** is the lack of consent, with it being shoved into every crevice possible. We don't want this. At the very least, have it turned off BY DEFAULT. Otherwise I'll leave the platform full stop. This is not worth it.

If twitch starts scraping their streamers content for AI I am cancelling my subs. I will not support this and I already think less of twitch for even considering this.

The AI bubble is starting to explode and Amazon is trying to implement this?
This is so messed up, a lot of us depends on Twitch to live and most of us hate AI for its impact on lives and the planet.

Please just cut this garbage altogether. This is an awful idea. The amount of damage this genAI **** will cause is immeasurable. It *really will* burn Twitch to the ground.

I do not understand why these features are not Opt-in instead of having to be opt-out? Why must we be the ones to opt out of a feature forced upon us? A huge majority of creators and viewers are against genAI. Please reconsider, twitch / amazon.

If you absolutely have to keep chasing AI for whatever reason you've convinced yourself is true, at least for goodness' sake let me have no part in it. If the only alternative is leaving Twitch, that is what I will do.

This is actively destructive to the entire buisness model of twitch as a whole and would only serve AI investors instead of the streamers and audience that the platform was built under, all for a speculative industry that is bleeding billions in funding to zero benifit. There is nothing that this proposal will do other than make a small handful of people money while setting fire to the buisness that gave it to them.

No thank you. You must realise, with all the hard working dedicated folk on your platform, that have raised their concerns AI. time and time again, on different platforms: that no one ******* wants this.
You take enough from streamers as it is. You add this. they will leave. Your 'Platform' will be barren. Its incredibly disrespectful, that you choose to add ******** AI to this too when we are all SICK to death of seeing it on every other ******* social media platform, we DO not want it here. We don't want it anywhere. but that's not going to happen.
Opt-Out. Do not Add this. No one. NO ONE. wants this.

I may not use Twitch very often, but I have several friends who stream on Twitch regularly, and they're in serious danger if this ever gets put into motion, so please reconsider

I don't want my content used to train AI. I don't want my voice, my PNGtuber, or the comments on my stream used, and I doubt the developers of the games I stream would approve of being used in AI training.
Automatic Opt out for all users is the bare minimum. -

Please, Twitch do not do this at all whatsoever! This is going to crush Twitch or ruin it for good!

AI is garbage, a sign of low quality, inefficient, based on theft, legally dubious and 1000% pointless. This change will hurt every channel and Twitch massively and Twitch will never be able to get that support back.
You could spend that AI money making you platform better, and yet you want to make it worse. No AI no how!

STOP TRYING TO SHOVE AI WHERE IT DOES NOT BELONG. No one consents to this, no one wants this. It is genuinely getting hard to justify actually using twitch to stream at this point.

This would only be acceptable if there is absolutely no chance of "just don't use the plagiarism blender on Twitch at all".
You are owned by Amazon, you have functionally infinite money.
You don't need to steal peoples' work to generate more things.
How about making your mobile app actually work correctly instead of being a broken mess? Think about how many more viewers and streamers you could get on the platform if that worked better than it does?
If for some reason you feel you absolutely must use that GenAI garbage, make it opt-in and default to off like OP said. Those who want it can throw themselves into the Bog of Eternal Garbo if they want but leave those of us with negative interest in it alone.
