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.

I do not want my streams to be watchable by some bot. If I'm not able to 100% remove "AI" from anything to do with my account, I'll be moving my streams somewhere else, as well as finding other sources to watch people stream. I want no part in this "AI" slop and it will drive me and many others off the platform.

I want no AI at all in any part of Twitch, I'm tired enough of seeing AI advertisements that look so awful.

In my opinion, it's a 'no AI' for me, that's it

If I can't completely opt-out of having my content be used to train AI, I'm done streaming on Twitch.

I hate the idea of AI being incorporated into any of my streams or being used to feed the ecosystem death machine.

AI is not just destroying the planet; our water supply, air quality, noise pollution and just pollution in general. It's stealing from artists, whom many stream on twitch, myself included. Its causing mental decline, learning deficit, and damage to general common sense and critical thinking. It's invading spaces it was never welcomed into in the first place, forced in our faces everywhere we go, destroying lives. AI is disgusting and to see it forced into yet another space of mine makes me sick.

AI features always correspond with higher dissatisfaction of customers, nobody who cares about the product wants them.

ai is taking our drinking water and killing the planet; not to mention how its taking jobs and making people rely on it as it preys on the vulnerable.
show you care about the creators and watchers who are the ones that ACTUALLY matter here and not whatever billionaire is getting their nasty hands on twitch. these types of things are built ON community and other people- REAL people. youre driving people away and showing you care more about money and yourselves instead of the ones who helped make twitch what it is-- twitch wouldnt be this big if not for streamers- content creators-- and the people who watch. -

i was thinking about starting my stream back up on twitch, but if this is happening, i'll just hop over to youtube instead. at least they're up front about not caring about their community so i know what i'm getting into.

remove ai features as a whole. They contribute nothing but negativity and inspire less creative ideas for creators to do giving people slop instead of quality content.

no one wants these features other than money hungry executives. this is truly a disgrace to see twitch trying to implement. I agree with most others, if twitch goes forward with this, I won't be coming along.

A true travesty to see ai invading a space meant for creatives and creators. What’s the point of being creative or problem solving on your own if everything around you tries to replace you with a poor imitation of a human? I will leave this platform if they join the “fad” of ai if I must

As a Vtuber and content creator with creative ownership of my likeness and voice, I cannot condone the use of AI in any capacity on my channel, nor anyone elses. Especially as the options are only opt-out for *certain* things, not even as a whole. Do better, Twitch.

Will just up and cancel my account if this goes through without an opt-out. If I can wean myself off youtube because of its own AI Tomfoolery, I will do the same for Twitch. And lately the site is barely functional.
The banner ads in stream are already gauche, but I prefer THAT to the barely working player on the website and your app.
How about we put resources toward that instead? I notice I have no streaming issues when using Owncast streams, and those are self-hosted; even on streams from creators I'm subbed to I seem to run into problems.

This is ridiculous. Streamers do not want these features. Viewers do not want them. Stop wasting everyone's time and stop trying to force them onto your userbase.

I feel there is no use for AI in it's current state to be used in streams. As someone who has been monitoring the development of technology and AI over the past few years, I still feel we are nowhere close to what we need to have set up for this to be a good choice for companies to implement into their systems and user base. Pushing AI or using streams to train AI at this current moment I feel will push more people away from this platform and would harm the overall twitch community.
