How can we improve Twitch for Creators?

Creators and Stream Features: Feature Requests

Categories

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.

    Why must we keep coming back to this Twitch?! We do not want AI - You are risking a mass exodus of content creators and risking any future content creators wanting to do business on your platform. Shame on you Twitch. Shame.
  • Avrysatos commented  ·   ·  Report

    We each have different levels of AI we're comfortable with, and for a large portion of the creator base including partners the amount is NONE.
  • ch_ch_ch_chie commented  ·   ·  Report

    NO AI. And if you insist on adding it, make it an option, and make the default opted out.

  • Intrah_Venus commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have a better idea: NO AI AT ALL!!! The use of genAI is a complete and total betrayal of the creative spirit that streamers bring to the platform. Many people, myself included, can and will leave Twitch over this.
  • monkeyonmain commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yeah no, don't do this. No GenAI or make it an opt-in function at minimum.
  • MilkTeaWayGalaxy commented  ·   ·  Report

    Do not use AI at all. But if you're going to anyway you better make it optional so you can see how much everyone hates it. And make it opt-in, not opt-out. Make it a feature that is not turned on by default.
  • Auburn_Arcana commented  ·   ·  Report

    Opt-out by default is best practice for invasive features - but some things are not only highly unpopular, but also actively detrimental to all involved. genAI is notorious for plagiarizing from realistically non-consenting creators, creating unhealthy dependencies, and diminishing the quality of projects - all while contributing to substantial environmental problems. (Note that on-by-default does not constitute realistic consent; to the contrary, it is predatory.)

    These make genAI a failure, and so it fails to return on investments. Twitch will not succeed at recovering these losses through continued use. Twitch has already been told multiple times about these harms; among other things, adding genAI emotes and replacing category images with genAI (including Art!) are poorly received.

    I have been streaming on Twitch since 27 September 2019. I value the work of real artists and streamers that I met here, and their autonomy & ownership is a driving force of that work. As an artist and streamer myself, I don't want my work to be used without my explicit consent, especially not for genAI. That's my hard stance on this.

    If I discover that my or my friends' channels are being subjected to these features without consent, I will not hesitate to offboard from the Affiliate program and migrate to a competitor's platform, no questions asked. Rather than spending on something that drags us down, a far better use of Twitch's budget is towards the welfare of the streamers that power their platform.

    This is so stupid you should feel ashamed of even contemplating the thought of using this as there is zero use case for this garbage and should be opt out by default not forced onto people.
  • LunarMothGames commented  ·   ·  Report

    I dont want this feature at all, and will push my other creator friends to use other platforms, maybe not use twitch myself.
  • apatheticgoat commented  ·   ·  Report

    i want nothing to do with the ai features, i dont want my streams to train ai, and will delete my account if im forced into it
  • solari171 commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't want our voices to be trained for AI.

  • MeganUosiu commented  ·   ·  Report

    Oh yes, opt-out as default is absolutely necessary. Please don't destroy your platform for its users.
  • Lady_CrockTune commented  ·   ·  Report

    AI do not do anything apart stealing people and destroying the world, we don't want it on twitch
