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.

Generative is AI harmful and is actively destroying our planet.
It's built on stolen data, it does nothing but make more money for the billionaires.
I started streaming to connect with real people and share my art with the world, I, like other have spent years learning our craft and making communities around it, and I do NOT consent to be fed into the data for Generative AI. -

It shouldn't be used at all too many creators stream others pov's who may not consent to AI use - on top of that many games will choose to pull there content from twitch to avoid it being trained on AI. Get rid of AI - But if must do it MAKE IT OPT IN.

Anything related to AI should be automatically opt-out for the creators and only they get a say if they want to opt-in or not. Having AI shoved down our throats more and more by **** near every single company is genuinely disappointing. I got my start as a streamer on Twitch before expanding to other platforms but if Twitch decides to train any sort of AI based on the people that stream on their platform, I might have to leave.

I am against AI, period. I do NOT want to be forced to feed any AI my information or streams.
I want Twitch to stop this attempt before It goes live.
If not, I require Twitch to opt us OUT of this by default, because that would be an abuse of our rights tonuse the platform.

No thank you. We do well enough without the entire thing being AI. Why do we need that? Allowing specific users to use generative AI is one choice but forcing us all to use it is crazy!

You should always be automatically opted out wtf

really didn’t like hearing/reading about this. I am not okay with any platform AUTOMATICALLY opting users in to be trained for ai especially when there probably wouldn’t be sufficient transparency should/when it rolls out. some users are primarily mobile and as someone who uses mobile and desktop I am very aware that there are lots of settings not available for mobile users. As it is the user dashboard/settings - it is hard for people to find things, even bigger streamers who are very on top of their settings. Don’t train ai so they can learn about us and we end up as a data set? our data gets sold to who knows because You as a platform keeps on doing stuff we don’t want because You may or may not be bleeding money? How many marginalized people are on this app? A lot of us can be racially profiled. ICE is running rampant. You barely do anything about racism in general but Anti Black racism specifically, queerphobia, xenophobia, objectification and fetishization of streamers especially Asian and/or femme presenting, ableism, Islamophobia, people conflating criticism of Israel/Genocide/Zionism as antisemitic when Arab speaking people are SEMITIC people, ETC. Twitch gives ads for tracking menstrual cycles and ovulation when You have users in STATES WITH ABORTION BANS. You had kalshi ads. Twitch still has ads about gambling when NO DOUBT You have users who do not need to see that and be tempted. Twitch featured roblox when they have a slew of child abuse cases. Twitch policed people wearing masks at twitch con WHEN COVID IS STILL A THING. Twitch let an Asian woman streamer get assaulted at the con and nothing happened. Twitch was policing people who needed their meds at Twitch con. Chevron was a sponsor and there are tons of reasons why that isn’t great. You don’t do anything about that but You are trying to train ai with our information? Why do You keep making choices that show the lack of ethics? Profit over people. It shouldn’t be profit over people.

No sane person would consent to their content, voice, face, etc., to be subject of AI training and abuse, copyright infringement being the tamest of issues, that such training ensures. This platform that was build on human creativity and community. Forcing any AI features on content creators, opting creators in by default, not providing option to Opt Out from any and ALL AI training goes against everything this platform and community was built on. Hot only we have a right to NOT have our faces, voices, chats be part of anyone's AI training, streamers use protected art, music, and assets creators of which explicitly forbid using their work for AI training purposes.

Absolutely not! Allow us creators to have the option to opt IN if we want to have our personalities and voices taken away, but as a standard, allow the option immediately to opt out WHEN and IF this was to be implemented. I want to be my own person, not training AI to take away my own sense of personality or voice. And as for art, nah uh. Not allowing AI to use art that I may use on my channel that can potentially be used by others for their personal gain.

I'm really against the use of ai, because it is Frist Harmful to smaller creators, better said to everyone using this Platform and secondly is stealing the art and creativity from the creators, what is morally wrong. It just would be harmful and destroy this Platform

I oppose generative AI in all its forms and will not use a platform that uses it for anything. Should Twitch move forward with the plan to steal creators' work to train some kind of large model system for generative use, I will stop using all of Twitch.

Not only is AI harmful to smaller creators and streamers like myself, which you deem as 'dead weight', it is actively destroying the planet.
It is built on stolen art, creativity, and is morally bankrupt.
I stream because I want to create and connect with my community, and interact with real people who want real content in return, not AI slop.

Do not allow AI to steal the hard work of your creators. Allow us to opt in if we want our content stolen, but I do not want the art that I commissioned for my channel to be stolen by AI

Utilizing Twitch to train AI to any extent erodes all trust we have remaining in this platform and betrays the decades-long relationships formed with its most loyal and creative users. It would be a shame to lose this part of the internet as a result of these decisions.

The ideal would be to simply not support AI at all, but opt out by default is the bare minimum. You should be ashamed to even just think of exploiting creators who *in theory* are your business partners. Twitch really wants to lose both audience and streamers, it seems... Stop trying to force AI on us.
