How can we improve Twitch for Creators?

Creators and Stream Features: Feature Requests

Categories

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.

    Interesting how they quietly sneaked in this feature and opted everyone in by default to harvest their data and identity. That should speak for itself.

    I do not want any of my content to be used by AI. Twitch is a place where live spontaneous creation can take place, and is not a “resource” for AI to take from us.

    Twitch execs do you have a dent in your brain?
  • Duazzet commented  ·   ·  Report

    100% this. This NEEDS to be OPT IN, not OPT OUT by default. One of the most insanly stupid things in long time.

  • CakeTheHuman commented  ·   ·  Report

    We the people do not want the channels we love used for AI that is honestly gross and dehumanizing by having it automatically checked on when we didn't know about it. Do ******* better don't do this **** ever again

    I'm going to call up the Chamber of Labour and the Austrian consumer protection agency tomorrow and inquire if the non-consensual usage of my face and voice is illegal, and inquire as to how I can sue you through EU law if it is, indeed, illegal.

    I hope the swathes of people opting out with the news of this landing today will do some convincing.

    This push of AI down our throats is gross and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Please drop this idea, if not for the environment or destruction of it, but for the humanity. There's ZERO need for such a feature. You do not need to use AI it is the most useless thing that we have unfortunately invented as humans.

    People watch streams for a human connection. They have communities. The fact that AI is trying to make a soulless bastardization — one that by default is trained on folks who have not given consent! — is a slap to the face of every creator, every viewer, every community on this platform. Do better.

    Everyone, please check your Twitch settings under Settings > Security and Privacy. The switch for Training for Generative AI is auto-on by default.
  • AlexNorimaki commented  ·   ·  Report

    Generative artificial intelligence is already being forced upon a world that doesn't benefit from it in any way. Creatives are losing their livelihoods left and right in the wake of companies turning to AI, artists are seeing levels of plagiarism and misrepresentation on a scale never before witnessed, and trust in content creators is at a low, thanks to skepticism in what is real vs what is fake.

    Amazon is a heavy contributor to all aspects of the AI bubble, from building data centers that disproportionately impact low-income and predominately POC neighborhoods and sap areas of natural resources, to now targeting the content of Twitch creators to train its generative AI models.

    Let me be clear, calling it "training" is PR semantics to throw people off from what it really is: stealing content from original creators and using it to power an algorithm that can never embody the creativity, artistry, and spirit of a human creative. Further, pushing this on Twitch creators in a quiet, opt-in by default way is misleading, dubious, and distasteful. There is no Twitch without its creators. There is no audience to watch this platform without creators to go live on it. By using what we make to power something soulless, you are effectively telling the very foundation of Twitch that you do not value it.

    In short, do better. Be better. I NEVER comment on the goings on of Twitch because, frankly, I know how fluid and everchanging a platform like this can be. But I find this move to be disrespectful enough. Twitch is a community platform. Do right be the community.

    The fact that this setting was turned on by default is frankly disgusting. Does opting out remove any data already scraped from my channel from the models? If not, it should.

    This feature should have been preceded by an announcement and for any creators who don’t care about their data being used, could choose to opt-in. The fact this was done secretly with no notification tells you all you need to know about how many people they think would choose to participate.

    Truly awful behaviour twitch. Do better.

    I do not consent to having my likeness trained on your AI models. And opting me in by default shows me that Twitch does not care about the very creators who make their platform matter
