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.

    AI has no place on twitch which is a platform built around creators. If AI has to be imposed in some way, then by default this should be turned off unless someone *chooses* to use it.
  • PorpInProgress commented  ·   ·  Report

    Protecting the content that creators (streamers in this case are the creators) are making on Twitch should be Twitch's first priority. AI has no place in spaces where people create. The LEAST Twitch could do for creators is to protect their spaces from training AI slop generators. Being opted out by default is the second best option if for some unknown reason they have to incorporate it (but there's really no good reason you could give to justify using streamers' content to train AI models).
  • Persephone_Mae commented  ·   ·  Report

    Opting out needs to be on this by default. Every artist I know does not want their art used by AI, and that's likely to include assets that are used by streamers. This will harm the industry, especially as AI is very significantly disliked by many.

    If Twitch as a company ever cared about ethical business practices, then AI should never have been in the plans in the first place. As a bare minimum of a compromise to let you proceed with such a terribly abused technology that is flawed by design that continues to harm both society (employment loss) and the environment, we expect (and again, as a BARE MINIMUM OF A COMPROMISE FOR ANY OF US TO TOLERATE YOUR UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOVERNED BY LAW) for the default to be opt-out and manual opt-in is required for content creators who explicitly give consent to the cause of memory shortages, ecosystem damage, mass employment loss, and the abandonment of the consumer market for affordable technology. And that requires the ENTIRETY of that content to actually be under the content creator's ownership, otherwise their consent is nullified since it falls under piracy. Or are you saying piracy is legal for those training AI models, but not for anyone else? We doing selective piracy now? We changing the law? Is that the hypocrisy you're looking forward to doing?

    AI should be opt out by default. Can't think of many who'd want this to be on anyway. Also with music and art streams i don't think ANY streamers want their work stolen by AI. Do the right thing- support real streamers and bin this dumb AI idea before you lose a lot of people

    Any step back for AI is a step forward for art and humanity in general.

    No one wants generative ai in creator fueled spaces. Much less anywhere.

  • aFreckledRedFox commented  ·   ·  Report

    No one wants this--creators or viewers. You will lose so much more than you will gain if you abandon creators for AI. Make these features optional at a minimum.

    I will stop using Twitch if it moves forward with using creators’ streams to train AI. Letting creators opt out is less than the bare minimum.
  • HeyHamlin commented  ·   ·  Report

    On all my platforms I have done everything I can to turn off AI. I will access AI in any case I truly need it, but I don't want any platform using it on my behalf without my explicitly asking for it.

  • GamerGhoulFriend commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ending my turbo support, and if twitch moves forward with it's AI training I'm considering leaving the app as well.
  • KamakiH commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ending my Turbo support, will not renew until opt-out is default AT MINIMUM.
  • puccathetree commented  ·   ·  Report

    While I rather not have AI on the platform AT ALL, the least they could do is this. Very pessimistic about the former because Amazon is involved but judging by this backlash praying it will be enough. I hate it here.

    Part of me wishes people could strike against twitch but so many creators make livelihoods on here... Unless they stream on a different platform in protest but that being likely is nearly impossible :/

    Was just going to buy some subs too for a game promotion, really can't trust these people at the end of the day. Disappointed but not surprised.

    Generative AI?? Are we having a ******* laugh???? Who on earth wants to watch a fake person fake play a fake video game?? Ain't Twitch supposed to be a personality-driven site?? Emphasis on the PERSON????
