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.

AI may be what blind investors want, but it's not what users and streamers want by majority. Simple as that, and there's also the whole bucket of issues with the environment and supply for computer parts caused by AI, among many other negatives.

Agreed. If they make AI features compulsory, they'll see a mass exodus of users and creators who are anti-AI, myself included. The choice is important, and we should not be made to opt-out of something we don't want in the first place.

Removal ALL AI from this platform. None should be allowed.

AI being brute forced onto creators is deplorable, especially as we have seen countless creatives have their likeness and work be misused by generative AI despite 'regulations' being put in-place. Twitch has such a large community of artists, why would this even be considered? It is biting the hand of those that contributed to the growth of this platform from the very beginning.

Generative AI is a slap in the face of every creative mind on the planet. It's an insult, and detrimental to true creativity. Art. Music. And frankly, it's theft. Companies use art from all over the internet without permission of the original creators to train their AI's. It's disgusting. Let alone the damage those datacenters cause to the environment! Stop the madness!

Having the choice and not being opted in by default is very important.

Creative spheres have been fiercely critical of generative AI and related tools from their inception. The decision to make AI tools non-optional on a creator-driven website speaks to at best a fatal misunderstanding of your userbase, and at worst cowardice and callous betrayal of user interest. I hope for your sakes it is the former. Shame, shame, a thousand times shame.

No sensible creator or anyone who has any respect for the their own autonomy would ever want this to be a part of their channel. I'm not a cog in a machine, I'm a human being with more complex existence, keep all AI uses out of what should be a creative space. AI will always take more than it's ever going to give back, keep that human touch in this platform of creators, that includes customer service, reporting tickets, and the overall experience of what Twitch should stand for, human connection.

its insane to even scrub your users content for selfish gain through ai training. I do not understand the need to squeeze all value from users. Have some decency and do the right thing, if not getting rid of the motion altogether, allow people to opt out.

AI should never be forced on any users. Frankly, it shouldn't be used at all considering the damage it causes to the planet and to the human brain. There's literally people that have died because of AI, and some people can't make decisions without relying on AI

This doesn't make any sense. I genuinely feel like we've gotten to the point that Twitch is doing Microslop's method - Force AI into everyone, whether they like it or not.
Regardless, I do hope and pray that they hear the streamers because there's not a shot in **** I'm allowing Twitch to use MY streams to train their AI. and I agree with what some people have said in the forum - AI would easily make things WORSE for content creators.

It should be up to each creator whether or not their content is used to train AI models. That necessarily means having it off by default.

It should be up to each individual if they want what they do used to train the plagiarism machine, and I for certain, do not. Doing this is gross and having it on by default is worse and hugely disrespectful to the people who use your platform and tells me that I should be looking for an alternative to Twitch should the AI features go through.
AI is going to be the death of human creativity. -

All creators should have control over their content ESPECIALLY in this sense. this is a nightmare of copyright, especially when considering that a lot of streamers play games that you DO NOT OWN TWITCH.

No, no, no, absolutely not. No AI. This would only make things worse for creators.
