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.

Hey maybe don't implement AI training, period. There's a lot of us who use Twitch to stream art and while I can't speak for others, I'm already considering putting a stop to all art streams on your platform and have looked into alternative platforms. Game streams will be following shortly after if you go through with this. I will also encourage my viewers to stop subscribing and find alternative ways to monetarily support myself and other streamers on this platform.
Investing in AI is a terrible move on your part. Don't make that our problem.

My own misgivings with AI aside (and I have many), I find it truly bizarre and disrespectful that streamers can't have a VOD on their channel for longer than a few weeks, but Twitch feels entitled to that same content permanently for AI training data.

Absolutely not. I just started streaming, and even though I love doing it, adding AI scrapping AT ALL will just make me leave. Out of all the streamers I have seen, NONE OF THEM want AI anywhere near them. Especially if we are not opted out by default, I will have no issue simply deleting my account and going elsewhere. No more subs, no more streams. **** AI, period.

Twitch exists because of it's users, so it'd be nice if you didn't aim to **** us off at every turn like this. AI has no place in this service, no matter what the shareholders would have you believe.

Stop pushing AI slop on us, I don't even give a **** if I get paid for affiliate, I'm leaving if it continues. Absolutely disgusting filth.

I do not consent to any of my data being used to train AI content. I find it abhorrent and will be looking into alternatives to your platform immediately if you use my information for any generative AI or LLM platforms.

a website built on community involvement and personal investment, Twitch is not the place for AI at all.

The fact that you're even considering using GenAI is repugnant so opting people out of it is the least you can do. Twitch's platform is by and large run by the creative community and we can not have been clearer that we DESPISE GenAI. It is nothing but theft. Speaking of theft, good luck dealing with copyright issues surrounding stealing from all the different games, movies, music, and other forms of copyright protected material that is streamed daily

These options should always be OFF by default.
Not sure other companies doing events on Twitch would apreciate to have their properties scrape for more AI slops. -

This is a terrible idea. Listen to your community and stop while you still have a chance.

It would be nice if you did not implement AI in a way that will obstruct the creator's base at all.
It would also be nice if you hired people instead of using a easy way out, as there is proof out there that humans can do their work with thoughtfulness and reasoning in mind, as to where programs cannot.If continued on this endeavour, you might encounter a deficit in your YoY results, and I am fully aware of the fact that this section of the company has been in the red for years on end.
Reconsider to cancel this implementation all together. Thank you.

You are going to lose so many streamers and viewers if you use AI. Its anti-marketing. No one wants their content to be stolen and used for anything they don't want.
Stop forcing AI, no one wants it.

I never ever want my streams, face, voice, chat messages, or anything used to train AI. I do not want to use AI for anything. I, and many others, have no interest in using this. Actively making this website worse will only harm your bottom line in the long run.

imposing this filth on your userbase will only result in a drastic drawdown of said userbase as they migrate to other platforms. for a platform dominated by creatives and artists in various capacities, this is a betrayal and an insult.

if you make it so streamers are strong-armed into training an AI crapbot, we're all moving to Kick.com. They'd become the moral choice, and crime is their highest-watched category
