If Twitch won't respect us, why should we respect them?

Most Creators are against this anyway, but at the very least they should have the right to not be forced into this. Opting people in without their permission/consent is bad all around.

I will stop subscribing to channels on Twitch, and would look into alternative sites to support the streamers/channels that I follow on Twitch if this is implemented.

I have put too much of myself, my identity, and my passion into the almost 8 years I've been streaming on twitch to let it be used by AI to attempt to replace all of our creativity and hard work. Streaming takes a lot of effort. To attempt to use any of it to 'train' 'AI' to do anything similar to what we do is an affront to those of us who made the platform what it is.

Just don't do AI. Twitch is a place where creators and artists come to thrive, to build community, to show the things they make. In short, we don't want AI.

AI may not legally be called theft, but that is all it is. It has contributed nothing to this world save cause people to lose their jobs, and anything else AI has made besides that could have been done with less problems and more consideration by a human.

Nothing good will come of implementing AI into streams. No useful thing happens here. Just more wasted power, more data centers that no one asked for, more AI slop. If you must implement it, make opting out the default status, and make sure that your creators are fully and properly informed that it is being rolled out, don't try to do this quietly. We are watching, and if you do this and do it wrong, you will lose viewers, creators, content, and money.

Although I am sure everything is already being scrapped. But better yet don't scrap anything at all.

This idea is already insane to even think people will stand for this. It shouldn't be done in the first place, but if you're not going to listen to that like you should, you should at least not force people to have to have it on by default

Honestly don’t make it optional. I will legit just delete my account and no longer watch twitch. AI is harming the environment and also actively hurting people and taking jobs just to make the rich richer they can cut out the middle man for their own benefit. You are taking advantage of the people who helped make this website what it is. You follow through with this

If Twitch makes AI train off of streams without us being able to opt out (though honestly I think it's wrong of them to do it at all) I'll find another platform to stream on, and encourage every other streamer I have any contact with to do the same. I'd rather stop streaming or watching streams entirely than have AI features forced into the streaming spaces.

I cannot IMAGINE the amount of legal bull Twitch will get into if you do not make this opt out by default. We don't need MORE generative AI, especially not stuff trained on our work, on our likenesses and our craft so you can sell information and do god knows what with it. Reconsider immediately.

If I could I would prefer to remove AI features all together but the LEAST you can do is not have them be mandatory and allow us to opt out. And it is would be absolutely scummy to have it turned on by default.

Or just don't do this AT ALL

If this gets implemented I will cancel all my existing subscriptions to other creators. And any my viewers have for me, and I will take my streams and my viewer base elsewhere

This stupid legally and morally. A quick look at your user base will show that so many people are heavily Anti-AI, and shoehorning this will get folks to leave in droves, if not get you sued by folks who have trademarks and copyrights and such.

Please don't do this!! I will not be able to stream anymore if I am not able to opt out of training generative content on my data.

I will leave Twitch and go to Kick if you start dropping this AI bs on us.

DONT DO THAT MAKE IT OPT OUT BY DEFAULT

I will stop watching or buying subscriptions from Twitch entirely if these AI training policies are put into action, and the majority of the people who I subscribe to and generate revenue for this website will likely quit and move somewhere else too. The proposed new guidelines are business suicide.

I don’t not want of my work, artwork or vtuber model used in a database. I do not consent to anything I create to be used to in anyway to train generative AI. Forcing AI features onto a community who did not ask for them and is largely against it will drive viewers to other platforms. AI does nothing but cause harm to the environment and people. If AI is implemented I will cancel all subscription I have to twitch and take my streaming else where. Reconsider.

AI usage like this should ALWAYS be opt-out by default. No exceptions.
