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.

If you put in AI, you lose me as a customer.

Stop forcing GenAI on us. We don't want it, and we don't want to prop up your stock portfolios full of overleveraged AI and tech companies promising the world from their slop machines. Simple as.

I see that this plattform didn't learn its lesson after the slop emote attempt in 2024. And it seems like some people need to hear it again: Nobody wants or needs GenAI. Introducing it on this plattform at all is such an extremely disrespectful act towards viewers and streamers. It uses their voices, their creativity and their personalities and turns them into soulless mush.
Do not implement GenAI. Do not board a sinking ship.

Theft machines do not have a place in creative/expressive content.

No one wants Gen AI. I was going to start streaming but if this goes though than I'll stream somewhere else, and from what I've heard that's pretty much the consensus

Generative AI has no place in streaming, it's theft and nothing more.

AI is an incredibly dangerous and destructive technology that has provided no tangible benefit for all of the immense damage it's done and continues to do. People have started dropping entire platforms and gaming series for even touching AI because of how god awful it is. It is both morally bankrupt and incredibly stupid to force this on your userbase, and will likely result in you both losing many creators who would rather switch to other platforms as well as a ton of revenue from people who refuse to subscribe on Twitch at the least if not outright boycotting the platform altogether. This isn't speculation. We see it happening constantly everywhere else. Don't do this, for the sake of your user base but also if you even value retaining your relevancy.

I do not want any AI training on streamer’s content. Stop using AI for everything and focus on quality of life for streamers and for viewers. Like seriously, I’m sick of it

I'd prefer you avoid using AI. With how much damage AI data centers do to the environment in rural communities, how much generative AI is thieving from talented artists, and there being so many talented artists on Twitch that need recognition. AI is not the future. It's an annoying trend of the present that's dying

Forcing AI training on creators is going to have a heavy financial impact on the site as many creators will opt to leave. It's pretty well known that most streamers dislike the use of AI in the content creation sphere, and viewers also dislike it. Either allow us to opt out FULLY, or be prepared to lose a large amount of creators and the traffic/money that they bring.

Amazon/Twitch, you Need to let creators opt out or you will decimate certain portions of your user population and your income. Discord populations are highly aligned with Twitch populations - the back lash towards discord when they were going to force ai on gamers was mighty and swift, and hit them in the wallet. I have little faith you care about the ethical considerations, but the financial consequences will be considerable

I'd rather see you just not use AI. With how much damage AI data centers do to the environment in rural communities, how much generative AI is thieving from talented artists and churning out mindless slop from it and there are so many talented artists on Twitch that need recognition like Mayu Yumemi and Ben Briggs and Megaflare to name 3 off the top of my head, AI is not the future. It's an annoying trend of the present that's dying
