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 do not want our community to be used as a way to train A.I to create absolute garbage! Do not do this! Otherwise you will lose not only me, but countless others on this platfom.

We did not work our butts off just to have y’all use our streams/content for AI training/slop.
You want people to stay and keep using the platform, get rid of AI -

I use and watch streams on Twitch to enjoy the company of friends and fellow streamers. I don't come to this site for garbage slop. No AI stuff please.

Generative AI was created by fascist tech billionaires and massive corporations upon the stolen works and knowledge of our peers. The knowledge it regurgitates is frequently wrong- because it cannot know. The art, writing, and voices it regurgitates are without intentionality, meaning, or craft- because it cannot create. Its’ data centers poison us and the earth we all share and are frequently built with no community input specifically in BIPOC communities. Generative AI degrades our skills in critical thinking, creativity, independence, and community building. It is antithetical to everything me and my community do and are about here. Forcefully scraping the work and likeness of the creators and communities that make Twitch what it is (including financially) is certainly a weird platform-destroying choice to make.

Many people on Twitch have their opposition to generative AI incredibly clear. Forcing Twitch streamers to submit their content as AI training data is a clear way to kill Twitch and make people leave.

Twitch has been the lesser of all evils for platforms to be on as the internet has gone down a dark and horrific road with social media platform changes. PLEASE do not force AI "features" upon us as it's getting forced on us everywhere else by other big companies. It's soiling the creativity and individuality of us being our own people, and a large number of us wish to provide nothing towards AI "development" as society goes through these strange dystopian times

Nobody using this platform creatively (the majority of your userbase actually!) wants AI in any facet of that process. Don't scrape people's hard work for data. This could very well be the stake in the coffin for you.

I am a moderator- Twitch and Discord- for multiple channels. I do NOT want to have to go seek out when my streamers' identities are being used against their will by people acting in bad faith.

Being completely Frank? If twitch starts feeding streams to generative AI, I will stop watching twitch. Watch a stream everyday, and I am not going to feed this machine that replaces humanity with a simulacrum.

Twitch. If there is any facet of this that I can't opt out of I will be leaving, period.
I will not be watching streams that have this enabled.
I will not be streaming if any of this is enabled. -

If this is going to be a 'add-'on to being a streamer on Twitch (cause this is no way a 'feature', otherwise it would be useful to creators or entertaining for viewers), then it needs to be 100% optional and turned off by default in settings.
In truth. If our business of entertainment is going to be used to 'train' something without our full consent (and lack of clarity as to what its being used to train), then we need to be paid in fair trade of our identity and content being used for 'training' anything. A handful of top creators I know already have legal papers of copyright and trademark, of there: identity, designs, logos, and more. So I'm not talking paid pennies to a dollar, I mean pay handful pay per the hour of per stream used in the AI training for Amazon / Twitch (or other related to company and owner).
Otherwise keep your AI training away from Twitch and away from creators. There are much more problematic issues to attend to and fix than adding something like this.

I don't want all my work, art, and whatever I work on to be put into a database. I do not consent to my art to be used into an AI database. And we could very well do an action class case and bring it in front of a judge if you decide to use our art and content without consent. You do not own the rights to use our content to train your ****. Not to mention, environment-wise, it is polluting our drinking water and using so much of dwindling water sources. Oligarch are asking us to drink less water to leave some for the datacenter. You are greedy and we will not stand for this.

Hey, please stop trying to force AI features onto creators. You're just going to drive everyone away. No one wants to deal with that slop.

I won't spend a penny on your website if you don't make this completely optional, and I'll be side-eying everything you do going forward if you implement it at all.
