**** AI. Twitch is continuing it's streak of failures with this cowardly anti-human decision.

This should be the standard period.

Gen AI content needs to be turned off by default and opted into. I do not consent to having my own content ran through Gen AI, and honestly Twitch needs to not use Gen AI at all anyways. Gen AI is horrible for content creation and for our Earth. Twitch, do better.

Any new feature, especially one that affects every streamer as heavily as this one does, should be set to Opt-In by Default for Everyone
(To be absolutely clear, it should be Off by Default and anyone who wants it can turn it On)

I never agreed to this, I ask that anything that I'm a part of not to be used for AI, but auto-agreed to? I'm glad this blew up the way it did or else I would have never noticed. It should never be assumed that everyone wants to throw everything into the AI slop machine.

Now with people canceling their Nitro and subs over this, we're getting hurt as streamers as well, but I can't blame them. This was a bad idea across the board.

deleting my account and moving to a different platform. i cannot respect a platform that does not respect its userbase.

We understood and consented to our content being used for advertisement or may even be edited for that purpose, but gen AI scraping our content to create it itself is a step too far. If it is to be used, it should be with our explicit, active consent.

Twitch can ***** right off with this GenAI trash. I know I should be civil but I'm ****** as ****, how dare you opt me into this without my **** consent. Shove off, I'll stream elsewhere to somewhere that *isn't* actively training an AI streamer to try and replace us.

Honestly disappointed. As a creator within the community, it felt safe to say " This is a real creative space." Now with AI implementation, It does not feel safe. There is too many creators like myself who want to have a platform that is just for that. US the creators to create not AI. I will be transitioning to find another platform that DOES NOT support AI. Please rethink the original message you want people to see about Twitch. On a Global Scale AI will not bode well, So why add it here?

Generative AI is trash.

Morally and ethically speaking understanding the repercussions of AI usage amount to the extreme amount that would encompass each, and every user of the platform without their knowledge of automatically being opted in creates raise as much larger concerns as to not only the detrimental impact on our resources that have been proven to be affected and would be exacerbated with such a high volume up AI usage that it raises concerns, morally, and ethically regarding major contributions to prioritizing capitalistic and monetary gains over it responsibility as a company not to mention to it extremely massive user platform and employees who have actively spoke out against such drastic and not to mention extremely slimy actions that they intended to roll out with little acknowledgment to the platforms users!!

i hope Twitch dies after this

Remove auto opt-in for gen-ai scrapping or the better option of removing the use of gen-ai all together. It is disrespectful, harmful, and impractical to the platform and has huge negative impacts on the creators who provide their content and services. This also goes against general principles of consent for the user by opting into these terms without regard of notifying or disclosing of these new features.

I and many others are against this approach of using any generated ai content on twitch and would like it removed entirely or otherwise have the feature toggled off automatically vs the prior.

Genuinely what the **** are you doing here? You are killing your ******* golden goose to chase after a trend that nobody likes, and is going to pop soon. How stupid and greedy can you get?

Imagine being Twitch, seeing the collective hatred that the internet has for generative AI, and still deciding to jump on that sinking ship for a quick buck. Not only that, but having it be a feature that is turned ON by default and not having the courtesy to bother telling its users. Completely unbelievable and inexcusable behavior. Twitch as a company has been steadily decreasing in quality for YEARS now and it's a wonder anybody still bothers using it anymore

Cancelled my Twitch Turbo subscription as well as all subscriptions to the creators I enjoy. I will be supporting them off-site, and short of ad money (unless I use an ad blocker), Twitch will receive nothing more from me.

This is garbage. Auto opt-in's are sleezy and gross as is, not that I'm surprised at all because Amazon, but myself and others are moving our streams off platform. We already know some stuff is being trained, but if you're going to bake it into the platform, we're gone. Absolute garbage.

I would simply stop feeding the money loss machine my money when it's failing to make a profit on anybody's end instead of opting it in by default, Twitch.

terrible idea twitch! no AI

Generative AI should not be allowed on Twitch, by its users or by its developers.

Regardless, allow us to completely opt-out of AI features and training, and make it default that we are opted out.
