As a charity streamer on Twitch, I'm disgusted by the idea of having AI features forced into my streams. Keep them opted out by default - or better yet don't ever include them at all.

This would be the final nail in the coffin for Twitch if you start using a streamer's content to train AI. If you do not stop this horrible idea, or at least do not allow creators to opt out of ALL AI training in every aspect, It would lead to a mass exodus of both creators and viewers. I know I and MANY others would no longer use the platform, choosing another streaming service and spending our money there.

I hope Twitch/Amazon realizes that no one actually wants AI besides heartless, moronic investors. Ban AI entirely.

Twitch is meant to be a sharing platform with content being made BY people FOR people. Forcing content creators to feed their creative ideas to AI will inevitably drive viewers and content creators away because people who actually appreciate art or any form of creative content do not want to see AI slop that was made by real people *in the first place*.

Watch as streamers will find ways around this anyway, whether it's by adding filters to their streams that poison the content fed to GenAI, or by purposefully streaming copyright infringing content so that it poops out slop that will in turn land Twitch and Amazon with a bunch of lawsuits.

Is this worth losing a large portion of your creator and viewer base?
Will this be worth the dozens upon dozens of lawsuits that will come with the literal stealing of creators' content?

At the very least, let us choose if we want our content to be slopped.
(Jokes on you, none of us want that and none of us will stand by that)

I would rather AI not be used at all for streaming or any form of content creation. It's just a lazy cop-out to cut corners and not have to hire as many humans for the jobs that used to require humans. The more we rely on AI for everything, the more out of hand AI will get and can become misleading then eventually shut us humans out of everything.

There's alot of garbage I'm willing to put up with on this platform. This is not one of those cases.

If Twitch were an absolutely perfect streaming platform, and then did this, that would still be the final straw.

No tolerance for the tool of fascists.

Generative AI, and AI in general, has no place on a website which is built solely off of human-made content. The fact that you're even considering having these kinds of "features" on your website shows just how little you care about your userbase.

I'd rather ZERO AI be used. So sick of AI destroying everything, no where is truly safe.

Yeah if AI features wind up being included I'm dipping. The way that AI is being used is evil and damaging. Keep that trash away from Twitch.

Twitch has been a platform that thrives with creators. There is no need for gen AI on this platform unless you wish to push creators away from using twitch to seek other platforms. Given the responses from other instances in which AI had been promoted as being a "solution" only to be met with outrage and disgust. I would hope that twitches higher ups with be willing to listen to the people as opposed to disregarding and moving forward with a pro AI stance that only pushes creators and viewers away from the platform.

Just to summarize I do not give consent for my likeness, information, nor my content to be utilized by any AI for training or other purposes.

What are you thinking? Seriously. You want folks being creative on the platform and then consider, even for a second, using that creativity against them. Be ashamed, be apologetic, and be human. I don't believe you have it in you, but you have to understand the average individual doesn't think like your C-suite

I would immediately stop buying bits, cancel my remaining paid subscription, and never spend another dime on Twitch if mine or anyone else's content gets used for AI training without explicit permission.

Not only is Generative AI antithetical to the beliefs and preferences of the vast majority of creators on this site, but using their data to feed Generative AI/LLMs is an insult to the people that literally build this site.

Video Games see a reported 40-60% drop in sales on Steam simply by having *any* use of AI in their development. Streamers, and Gamers, *DO NOT WANT* AI in any way shape or form being forced upon them.

It’s been proven that AI cannot do what everyone says it can, so stop forcing it on everyone

Companies really need to learn to stop forcing AI on people. WE DONT WANT THIS.

If creators don't, at the very least, have the option to opt out of this, then this is a bad idea. Anything involving generative ai is a bad idea, period. And I won't support the site if it goes forward.

I will genuinely switch to only watching youtube until an alternative to twitch happens .
This is making your platform completely unusable to placate a short term gain for a fad that will inevitably crash.

This would be a disgusting pivot that shows how little you care about the people who make up your business model. The appeal of Twitch is human interaction whether it's interacting with human chatters or human streamers or even just hanging out lurking with others. Incorporating generative AI in this way is a slap in the face to everyone who has ever used your platform. Generative AI has shown to be an expensive loss in quality, experience, and income for almost every platform that has leaned into it. Your product will get irreversibly worse if you do this and that will lead to a huge loss in profits over time.

If there's no way to opt out I'll just find another platform to stream on

This is a great idea if you want hundreds of overly sheltered lunatics trying to kill your entire C-Suite. Actually I want to change my vote.
