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.

The fact you have seen other platforms get backlash for integrating AI Features yet still continue to push these features on your consumer base is interesting to say the least.
A LARGE portion of twitch is made up of creatives streaming music, art and adjacent categories of content. These sectors have been at the major forefront of AI Scraping. Days, weeks, months and years in some cases of peoples time, effort and passion thrown away because a HUMAN decided you know what NAH we can have all that made whilst taking others jobs and livelyhoods away.
Across the last 5 years I've livestreamed and performed my original music on your platform having written entire albums in a day for Charity Events we have hosted and partook in. Having had AI Databases scrape my music already this feels like a massive kick in the teeth and it will have that effect for alot of other creatives out there who've been in this same scenario.
Please opt all streamers out for these features by default because it's not fair to put them into place and folks who don't always keep up with the newest features get caught out by it.

AI is horrible for both humanity and the planet! Do not force people into using something they do not consent to! Make it optional and give us, the people who care about our privacy, safety and the earth, the option to opt out from the horrible and disgusting use of AI.

Stop using AI. Stop shoving it down our throats.
There are artists on this platform that stream their creative process.
There are VTubers who paid for their characters to be tailored to them and don't want their characters and the art to be used for AI training.
There are voice actors who don't want their voice to ever be taken away from them.Stop using AI. Stop it. It destroys our world, there is currently a 4th heatwave in Europe happening, river levels are hitting records for the lowest in history. This is causing blackouts, meaning people can't even watch Twitch, since they have no electricity. It's poisoning our water. The data centers are causing animals to be in such a high distress to the point where animals stop breeding. INCLUDING one of the most important small creatures - bees. Without bees we won't have food. Without food we will be gone. We will perish.
AI is ruining this world. It's literally making people more and more miserable.
I am someone who already struggles with their own mental health. Seeing this happen, seeing everything be consumed by AI, seeing people not care that we are being destroyed? It's not making it easier or better for me.
People take their lives, because of AI.So to any Twitch staff members that may read this? Start valuing human lives and decisions.
And to all of you reading that, support the people who stand up against AI. They don't just stand up for themselves, they stand up for all humanity. Support those who are against AI. Support those who stay informed and use their voice to spread awarness.
Don't give up. Don't let them big corporations do as they please.

since this "idea" (read: common sense) was posted, your company has allegedly taken steps to start training generative ai on livestreams. this is, frankly, completely unacceptable. it is remarkable that the though of doing so has made it far enough to potentially be announced within the coming months. do better.

I am not streaming much on twitch because of their terrible decisions... this isn't going to bring me back. Keep shooting yourselves in the leg for all I care. I swear those tech companies need to stop staying in their little bubble and open their eyes that most people want less AI not more.

AI is a cancer upon society, and needs to not only stay out of everything it's yet to infect, but entirely wither and die

I'm not for the AI. this platform was made for people to build communities based on themselves, not some digital copy. Keep AI out.

Agreed with this, AI must be optional and turned off by default. AI shouldn't be generative either, get that s**t outta here.

I'm a long-time Twitch user and I, like many others, do not wish to use AI for environmental, ethical, and data privacy reasons. I don't want to leave platforms like Twitch but if they force me to use AI, I will find other ways to support the creators I care about. Please give us the option to avoid AI rather than forcing these unwanted "tools" on us.
