I and many others would immediately stop using twitch if this were to be implemented. Twitch is a platform that exists because thousands upon thousands of creative, funny, and inspiring individuals put themselves out there. I'm here for them and not whatever garbage twitch intends to use AI for. Those creative people are what makes the gears spin and those gears could just as easily stop.

If twitch decides to roll this "content" out I will cease to use twitch as a platform completely. No streams, No subscriptions, No viewership. You will have crashed your own platform.

Businesses are so eager to use AI to replace their paid workers and I guess Twitch is no different?

Your workers (streamers) are your revenue generators. If twitch starts implementing fully AI streamers, I assure you that the "overhead" of the paid streamer you cut out will not exceed the profit.

And it would be a cascade to zero. A race to the bottom. If a fully genAI streamer took off and became mainstream news, the mass exodus from the platform would be exponentially larger than just the vocal minority taking the time to voice their concerns here.

Consider this the writing on the wall! This is us warning you. Hold on to your last few shreds of dignity and avoid ONE mistake for a change--a really BIG mistake.

If Twitch implements AI training on my content, I will leave the platform completely, all my stuff deleted and my account nuked. Without us, especially small streamers, Twitch doesn’t exist, and we deserve so much better than this.

Oh boy, I sure do love implementing the "shoot myself in the foot" feature to my platform!

Don't do this. There's no saving AI in the court of public opinion and, as a mega corporation, you don't really have a lot of goodwill to begin with.

This is probably the worst idea you could ever do. What would even be the point if nearly everyone keeps AI training at Opt Out default? Who would even do this? AI and Streamers should never be in the same sentence. It just makes things worse. Streamers are entertainers, not tools for whatever AI garbage you'd want to invest into. Don't invest in AI for a HUMAN experience. Thank you.

I would prefer vastly just not implementing or using your user base for generative AI training data.

Given that we know for a fact twitch will do that regardless because part of Amazon... At the very least make it opt out by default

Never use your platform to train ai. Ever. It is so easy to drop using or watching a platform. I've done it with Spotify and Twitter already. I will absolutely never interact with Twitch ever again if you implement Ai in any way. And this proposal seems particularly rotten as a way to implement Ai. Any ai idea you have now and going forward should be immediately thrown in the trash and the employee who suggested it should be punished. Thank you

all AI features should be able to be disabled, for both the viewer and streamer

No matter how hard you try, an AI will never share the same authenticity of raw emotion that a human does.

As humans, we want to watch other humans, not models trained off of stolen data/data that we could not opt out of.

Opt-out at a MINIMUM. Turned off by default preferred.

Opt-Out is a must by default. No AI has my consent to use my content.

Please no AI training on our streams. Keep it human ✌️

Opt-out by default. Also many users did not ask for AI on this platform

I will stream on Youtube instead of Twitch if this goes thru. Make it COMPLETELY opt out at minimum.

We deserve the right to opt out. I have no interest in feeding AI.

Opt-in by default is, by design, exploitative of ignorance and intentionally manipulative. It is systemic manipulation and disincentivizes clear communication.

If AI use, such as using created and streamed content to train any AI systems is implemented by default, then I will not stream to Twitch any longer, and I will not use it as a customer platform either. Google and YouTube are bad, but there are other alternatives to Twitch.

Twitch is struggling enough to maintain consistent viewership without implementing changes that would drive away tech-aware and educated customers and content creators. Those that use Twitch deserve to maintain full control of their content and should opt-in to programs that use their content IF AND ONLY IF they agree with the scope and intent of those programs.

Doing anything as opt-in by default makes ABS, AMAZON, and TWITCH all look shady and deepens the impression that they are exploitative and consent-averse, willing to cut any corner and betray any trust if they see an ounce of profit in it.

I'd rather not be used as a content farm for an AI that no one is asking for.

I would love the option to opt out of these features instead of being forced to use them by default with or without us knowing. I would like to stream in the future and I want to my stream experience to be made by human hands rather then a computer completely automating the process for me.

I'd rather have all AI tools as optional rather than forced options without a way to opt out.
