I've seen a few, rare, good uses for AI. One was for an artist who had almost finished their piece who was stuck on something, like hands, and asked an AI to show him how to do the thing that had him stuck. He then used it as reference to finish his art. Another was for a writer who had finished his story but something seemed off, so he asked for the bot to read it and look at the patterns in the story to help him edit it. These are reasons to use AI, to help us tweak our finished or almost finished art.

Streamers, while artists, usually write their script before they begin or make it up on the fly. Either way, I would imagine that they wouldn't need a bot to help them stream or write their scripts.

Perhaps, you argue, they need something to switch their scenes (whether correctly or incorrectly) for them. The live aspect is what makes a streaming service what it is, and those mistakes, or not, are what makes a stream what it is.

But! But the silly pictures that could be posted on the fly or the searches it could do for you, you protest. These are up to the discretion of the streamer. Maybe they want them, maybe not. They should decide if they want it and if it fits with their theme.

And lately, I've had enough of AI forced on me, whether I like it or not, that I'd much rather it be turned off and let me find the hidey-hole, it is hidden in, to turn it on, rather than the other way around.

Sooo, unless you find a *really* good use for AI in streaming, and not something just thrown in so you can be "hip" and "with the times", *and* leave it off for us to turn on and see this cool, new feature, I think I'd rather not have it.

Using AI is absolutely absurd, especially generative AI. The platform continues to make stupid descensions every single day.

Having this on by default is absolutely deplorable. This platform continues to make poor decisions.

I hope we never reach the point where finding human-made content will be like looking for a needle in a haystack !! WE DON'T WANT OUR LIKENESS USED AGAINST US AND TO TRAIN YOUR AI BOTS THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR !!!!!

Do these CEOs take turns lobotomizing each other, or are they really this out of touch with reality? I don't want an opt-out button. GET IT OFF OUR PLATFORM. Nobody wants this. Streamers are what run Twitch, and they barely get paid for working as hard as they do. Now they're gonna be exploited even further?? I say NO to any and all genAI features. Get this **** out of here.

If I am the person working my butt off streaming and creating my little community, why should a multi-billion dollar company be able to use my content to train their AI which could replace all of us? I stream consistently and want to make this a full-time career if I can, but AI could snipe that dream before it becomes possible.

Hey Corpo guys, don't use the intellectual property of my favorite streamers to train AI. Thats not cool.

Don't use my work/streams/output, etc. to train AI, it's that simple.

I swear to you I will go to YouTube to watch the content my favorite streamers post there instead if Twitch goes forward with this AI training. If they absolutely insist on doing this then I agree with OP. It should be OPT IN and by default everyone should be opted out.

Having AI features be opt-out is important!! Creators need to have agency over their work. I think the fastest way for me to leave the platform is when my agency is denied through invasive features like generative AI.

Make this feature opt-out by default because of the significant backlash there is against people's work being used for training data and because it is simply unreasonable to believe most streamers would be fine with having their streams be used as training data for an AI model.

Definitely need to avoid forcing AI as default, making it off and opt-in only, and even then only if such features are absolutely necessary. (As motivator to help reconsidering bringing AI into Twitch: Reddit lost 23% of its stock value due to forcing AI/LLMs on its users.)

So how much generalised contempt do you have for the people that helped get you to this position? Please don't give us AI stuff we don't want.

Ewwww, do not want the AI at all. And even worse that its going to have to be something that you have to turn off instead of turning it on if you want it.

AI features should not exist in the first place. It's pure garbage in, tremendous garbage out.

EEEEWWWWWWWWWW AI

making it as an option, is the best course. evidently the Twitch AI summary.

People who desire to replace humanity within creative fields with no regards of consent have a special place waiting in ****. Either make it opt-in BY DEFAULT, or we'll opt-out of your platform. Do you wish to live as a company within this next decade, Twitch? Think on it.

I will opt out

I said it before another time Twitch tried this and I'll say it again; Generative AI does nothing for us as creators or you as a company. It only will cause a divide and chase away the best and brightest under your wing. Do not implement these AI features. If you really, truly must, it ABSOLUTELY must be opt-in. Do NOT force creators to use it. Thank you.
