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.

Outside of this just being something that straight up is harming the planet, if you steal my likeness in any facet do not doubt that myself and the rest of the userbase will be running your company into the ground by leaving and deleting all our content.

You will be chasing off creators by doing this. We will leave the platform en mass. Please do not train AI on our work.

If you want people to enjoy your platform, A.i isn’t the way at all, it sucks the personality out of what is made and in turn make it all the same.

I watch Streamers because they're usually funny in their own right, by their own merit. Not by generating content, not be having it scrapped for others to plagerize. I don't want genAI in anything and I don't want it here. This is a stupid decision and I don't want it on this platform.

Frankly, I don't trust companies trying to push GenAI on everything to abide by an opt in/out system. Don't implement AI training or "features" on Twitch at all period.

All AI does it make people avoid you and destroy the planet. Just don’t.
Of course it should be opt out by default if you have to do it, but you don’t have to, and you shouldn’t. Stop being evil

I follow streamers on Twitch because I enjoy content made by people, with genuine interactions. AI does none of those things. Streamers already are required to comply with copyright laws regarding music, and yet the platform they work on is trying to claim their own creative output for itself? How would (generative) AI encourage viewers to interact with streams? I would look for other ways to support the streamers I enjoy if Twitch went through with their AI plans.

No one wants, needs, or ever asked for this ****. Get it the **** together Twitch. Opt-out by default at -minimum-, but it's honestly better if y'all just don't start scraping people's streams for ****** GenAI slop. You're spitting in the faces of every creator on the platform and there's no excuse for this. Literally nothing good will come from this, for us or for you. Just. Don't.
Edit, I'm not done:
The whole point of being a content creator is creating **** that is unique to you, that comes from who you are as a person & is informed by your own experiences/perspective/etc. GenAI -doesn't feel, think, or anything else that we, actual-*** people, feel, think, etc. It's dishonest, harmful, and just -cheeks- by comparison to what actual ******* people are capable of making & doing. It will never be good, for anything. And deciding to toss in AI features thinking you can exploit us with no repercussions is -insane-. Y'all can't be that ******* tone deaf, but maybe you are and you're thinking Amazon will just bail you out when this inevitably goes ****-up. But once they see people leaving en masse as a -direct- result of y'all's constant blunders, what the **** do you think they're going to do? Y'all are gonna hurt so many people's livelihoods because of this. -

Twitch can't be stupid enough to not realize hundreds of people are gonna cancel their subs if they implement ai can they? I mean they don't have the *best* track record, but surely they're not gonna implement a feature that nobody wants, right?

Twitch takes a cut of subscriptions, gets money through advertisement, people purchase bits, shops. Now Twitch wants to take the communities and scrap all the data and hard work of the people that made the platform successful? No. I do not consent. No AI should be implemented. And if Twitch follows the example of many other companies they should expect a mass exodus.

AI Is actively killing our planet in a speed unseen before from prior wastes of energy. DO NOT Implement it. At all. And if you absolutely must because Amazon said so, let us opt out of it. It MUST be an option for us to choose whether we want to involve ourselves with this cancerous tech or not.

I feel like it's incredibly insulting to all the people who stream on Twitch to have AI train off of their streams or alter streams or whatever thing the shareholders or CEO wants you to implement on here with it.
People stream because they want to create things and interact with people, this is a human platform made by people for people. AI can't ever replicate that and to have it train off of us and regurgitate slop it thinks is "art" or "entertainment" is so disrespectful to every streamer on this platform and to every viewer who comes here to watch their favorite streamers.
And don't even get me started on how wasteful AI is, the resources it uses up and the communities it ends up damaging and the people whose health is negatively impacted. Don't contribute to that pollution and community damaging waste by having these plagiarism bots come in and steal our creations and interactions with one another. And stop trying to make AI happen, it won't work, it won't give you profit, it's just gonna drain the company's money, money that could be used to make the platform better for users, you know, with stuff made by real humans who know what they're doing.
This is incredibly stupid and AI shouldn't even be here at all, not just make it automatically opt users out.

If AI training is used on streams with no way to opt out I will stop streaming and using Twitch, and will tell everyone else to do the same.

No thank you! Trying to rob people who put their blood, sweat, and tears into creating content is not ever a good idea! People work hard to make their content!! Opt-Out and just get rid of the decision in general! No one wants this, no one asked for it! No AI.
