Listen,

I understand people who work for twitch want to try and make the best improvements possible for the creators and users on the platform. I get it. But this is not the right way to go… AI takes the creative care, the skill, the talent, and everything artists and creators have and butchers it. Makes it useless… As an artist myself, who has spent years learning her style, learning what works, going above and beyond, to now knowing someone can just type in a prompt in a computer and get out that outcome that I’ve spent years achieving makes my head spin. It makes artists, feel like we are not appreciated and undervalued in many ways.

If people wish to use AI, they should have that choice. But; for people like me, who wishes to not touch anything like that. WE should ALSO have that choice. I do not consent to anything being AI during my streams, my content creation, my art, my talents, none of it.

And I’m sure a lot of people will agree with me.

Thank you for your time.

I come to Twitch for human connection and creativity. I don't want AI involved at all, I don't want it scraping our content, our faces, our data, or our creations. Even with an opt out feature - once AI is integrated, this platform loses all remaining integrity. It will just be another platform where we will be sifting through AI slop to find real people, real humans. Moving in the direction of AI is a mistake and it will cost you, the payoff you're hoping for will never transpire. We don't want AI, listen to us.

I’d say cut it out with the AI bull entirely. No one wants this but CEOs looking for a return on their poor investment

As someone that works EXTREMELY close to artists, I don't want this. There work as well as my own doesn't deserve to be fed into some marketing slop.

**** AI

I’m not interested in training AI. No one has my consent to use me or any of my content, people in my streams, no one/nothing. I am NOT CONSENTING to having any part of myself, my IP, my family used for AI related practices. That’s disgusting.

Considering what is happening currently, in America, using us to train AI is not inevitable. With deep fakes, unregulated practices, no laws protecting us, how could Twitch attempt to subject us to more danger?

Take care of all of us streamers that have gotten you to the dance, continue to line your pockets and put food on your table, while we hustle/grind to barely make a bill’s worth.

Twitch would be such a massive disappointment bringing AI in a place for HUMAN connection.

You can’t replace human. AI has no place here.
However, Twitch could do incredible things if it accepted the support for no AI.

As I’m perpetually disheartened by people in this country…I genuinely hope this streaming platform has the courage to be on humanity’s side of history.

As a Art Streamer Gen AI has already been a big challenge for us to face and this adds onto the problems- If our streams are trained in turn our work could be getting trained on to.

I doubt at the moment AI cant be avoided with how many companies insist on using it but an opt out by default is needed! especially since people can be unaware of their stuff being used for training!

Forced AI training is a big turn off for a lot of streamers (new and old) and viewers as well!!!

Any and all AI should be full opt in by user choice, not on by default. There shouldn't be any AI to begin with.

Twitch is a creative platform with a focus on human connection. AI has no place here, and I think the majority of creators on the platform will not consent to such training. Stop trying to inject AI use into every aspect of our lives, and let us focus on real human engagement.

It should not be on the platform in the first place.

As a creator on the platform, this sort of feature is definitely not welcome here. It is unethical to force AI on your members, it should be completely and 100% optional and opt-out by default. If Twitch decides to do something like this, I will be looking somewhere else, no thanks.

By all means, a full AI Opt-out option would be MANDATORY.

There is not a single artist streamer on this platform and non that i know of
that didn't had a Negative response to AI (And man, if i know SO MANY of them)

The amount of backlash the platform would get from the Artists community
(and non-artists too) would be "IMMENSE"

Immense used as an Euphemism.

Training AI based on creators' content should be illegal and has no place on twitch

As a viewer I have exactly 0 interest in seeing AI-generated works. None of the AI-features has ever improved my viewing experience. And therefore I want streamers to be the solely party who can choose if and when to enable any kind of AI-features on their channels.

Maybe I'm not a creator ... but I'm gone the moment any forced AI **** exists. Period.

If AI features are introduced to Twitch, I am leaving the platform and you will be losing a consumer.

Twtich putting on the clown nose if they do this.

Y'all are already bleeding money over to Kick and Youtube, implementing this sort of thing is EXACTLY what you should do to make the bleeding worse! Why motivate streamers to keep streaming to multiple platforms when you could instead motivate them to exclusively not stream to Twitch? Every single streamer is only a few button presses away from not streaming to Twitch ever again.
Or, we'll make sure twitch gets a different version of our streams to "enhance" your data set.

Death to AI!

Forcing AI to creators is the dumbest idea ever. Your platform will simply be boycotted. But we’re creators, we’ll find a new way to stream. The concern is on you. Will you listen to the people who make your platform valid or to your greed for dirty money?

I’ve been streaming on Twitch (from this account and another) for about 5 years now AS AN ARTIST. Please let me have an opt out button or I will continue my streaming elsewhere because ai will destroy the communities as it steals from artists, writers and everyone else who is in the creativity field.

My friends and I will gladly take our communities and our viewers somewhere else if this gets thrown at us. I wish to see my friends and other streamers, including myself, work on our streams ourselves without ai being pushed to us. This is non-negotiable Twitch. Give an opt out button or we all will leave the platform.
