Adding AI to Twitch is quite possibly the worst decision you can make for the platform short of just fully shutting down with no warning. You WILL see a massive drop-off in viewership and creators streaming on a regular basis as they move to other platforms. You'd be better off shooting yourself in the **** than adding Generative AI training as a "feature," especially as one that you cannot opt out of

Generative AI is poison. You will kill your platform supporting it.

You better be prepared to either lose your entire platform, user base, and reputation...or you're going to be paying EACH and EVERY person that you train your terrible unethical AI models on, in addition to everything else a content creator makes on stream. I haven't streamed in months, and if you people seriously implement GenAI training and tools onto Twitch, with no real way to opt out? I will never come back. I will never spend another cent on this platform. You should be ashamed of yourselves for even considering this. You're soulless corporate and shareholder bootlickers and you're only saying it louder now. Did you forget that you're nothing without us? Absolutely disgusting. I will NEVER consent to have GenAI models train on anything I've ever made or created. You're just a bunch of money hungry ghouls. Backpedal or shoot yourself in the foot - your choice Twitch.

No sane creator wants or needs Gen AI on this platform. And that includes me.

What on EARTH are you thinking? Get this garbage OUT of here. You want throw money at something?

Fix our revenue split to be more fair, let us choose the types of ads our audiences see, and fix your bitrate issues.

We don't need, nor want, and would only be burdened by this stupid tech bubble nonsense.

As a creative I am against most uses of ai. Data centers are destroying this planet more and more day by day and I want absolutely no part in it. I also don't want to follow anyone who uses generative AI to steal from creatives to make slop.

I really don't want ai involved in my streams on twitch in any way shape or form at all. If it HAS to be forced on everyone then it NEEDS to be optional and easy to opt out and REMAIN opted out.

I won't be returning to twitch as a streamer or a viewer if it isn't at the very bare minimum least optional.

NO AI

I'll do you one better. How about, "Don't you ******* dare." with emphasis on that third word. No AI features. Period.

I know the top level people are usually out-of-touch, but you have to choose to be this deliberately ignorant to think that this would go well. And to announce it "in the coming months," supposedly; so announce it just before TwitchCon & tank the event because everyone refunds their tickets, or announce it *at* TwitchCon & watch everyone leave live.

You made ONE emote with gen AI like 2 years ago & everyone ripped you all apart over it. How is gen AI training off of our streams going to be something we allow? Is there any point to the Twitch Ambassadors program anymore? Because I know none of them would voice support for this. So many of us want this platform to improve & be the best it can be, but you can't hear us over the *bangs* of you shooting yourself in the foot every chance you get.

I hope this is coming moreso from Amazon than Twitch. I know Twitch bleeding money from Amazon is something Amazon holds over you, but come on.

dan is a sellout

This decision would lead to a huge drop in revenue, people already dislike AI so adding it to a website where PEOPLE meet and watch other PEOPLE is the worst possible thing to ever do, and whoever was in charge of pushing this, is someone who has absolutely NO idea what they are doing.

No one wants this, this is a total lack of respect and care, once again, to everyone who uses your platform, and I know people who makes those decisions do not care but go kindly **** your self and die if you pushed for this

CAN THE GREEDY CORPOS QUIT HAVING TERRIBLE IDEAS?!?! NO AI TRAINING!

By adding AI to this already messy algorithim is NOT IT. Honest to gods Twitch will lose majority of their content creators because I know for a fact, I will not be streaming my art on a site where AI is actively involved.

IT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A THOUGHT OF INCLUDING IT.
Not optional, not forced. It just shouldn't be added to the site.

agreed. generative AI is harmful and exploitative, and should not be implemented at all, let alone be forced upon unconsenting people. using a human creator's content for AI training without the creator's consent is Theft and Abuse. and a feature like that must be Opted Out by default, because otherwise it CANNOT be consented to. consent can ONLY exist if the default is "no". forcing an opt-in-by-default setup destroys the capacity for true meaningful consent to even be given.

Furthermore, we need these AI companies to stop pretending what they're doing isn't just plagiarism with extra steps, it benefits no one.

Please don't force AI onto this platform it already ruined google and discord and countless other services, the reason I use twitch in the first place is the human interaction between streamers and chat, it's how I met my wife actually, AI being forced on people without an ability to opt out is going to kill this platform, there are already so many other issues which actually need to be addressed and this will only add to that pile, thank you for letting us speak on this, please do your part and listen.

No!
No no no no no no no no no no no no no

Stop
Being
Evil
And
Stupid

No AI. Not now. Not ever.

You won't listen, because you're all stupid capitalist pigs with rotten hearts that care for naught except boundless greed. If you force this through despite overwhelming opposition (you will, because greedy morons), you will cement your legacy as some of the most pathetic, vile monsters to have ever lived. Your legacy will be a pile of ****, and generations of your bloodline will bear the curse of your idiocy.

Twitch is a creative platform! Please keep it that way! No AI.

It's not about making AI features optional, it's about not adding AI features AT ALL.

Rather than incentivize streamers to create worthwhile community spaces, AI features will saturate the space with mediocre slop content relying on shock value and diminish audience valuable interactions to a minimum; essentially killing your platform and whatever revenue you're hoping to achieve with such a move.

Take a good look at the art sites that adopted AI features. There's nothing but algorithm induced generic generative content with empty commentary spaces; no real depth or discussions whatsoever.

Also do you really wanna waste years and resources on enforcing content policy on AI when souless repetitive slop channels start to surface?

If Youtube is already taking measures to mass terminate AI content hurting their fulltime creators, then make the wise choice and dodge the bullet instead.

The ONLY thing that makes Twitch special is it's ability to platform HUMAN BEINGS. Take that away and there's no reason to be here.
