I have absolutely no use for AI, either as a streamer or a viewer. I have turned off the "clip that" option, I have turned off the clips captions option since I don't know how those are made, and I absolutely cannot see any other use case. I do not want my streams or chats fed into a training model of any sort, for any purpose. I will stop using Twitch entirely, both as a viewer and a streamer, if any more AI "features" get implemented at least if they aren't fully optional.

I am wholly against gen AI being implemented in the first place, but if Twitch as a company chooses to align that way then I would strongly prefer it to be optional and opted out by default.

Hey, this is a really uncalled move, not only is this bad for creators by not giving them means to properly opt out, but it's also a net negative towards the bottomline of the site. They do not want to see their favorite steamers' livelyhoods ruined by potential malicious deep-fakes or unmaned accounts taking up the traffic on the platform.

Streamers already have very little alternatives for viable platforms, and this gross move of forced complinance is making things harder for them.

I've only ever streamed once, and only subscribe to one streamer, but I will cancel my subscription and delete my account if "AI" features are not able to be turned off or opted-out of. Please don't sabotage your own service with this.

GenAI is disgusting, unethical, and unprofitable. Keep it off the platform. This is not worth the PR disaster at minimum that will happen if this is implemented.

A lot of things never needed AI to thrive. I didn't ask for this, a lot of us never asked for this. We never needed it. Humanity's thrived without AI long before this. I can stand being given an option to opt in and out, but it's crossing lines if it's forced.

I'm guessing this may be falling on deaf ears, so I'll just speak in your language: I'm not giving money or engagement through subs, bits or ads.

I would prefer Twitch stays far away from AI, but this would be the next best thing. I don't want this AI **** anywhere near me, nor does anyone I follow. People who want it should have to opt-in for it. Leave the rest of us alone.

If you don't want to lose every single streamer you have, you need to either give up on AI completely or opt people out by default.

No. Absolutely not. I will happily and easily cancel all subs and move to another platform if another AI feature is implemented. Opt-in? Opt-out? The trust is already broken. The switch in the settings could do absolutely nothing and even if it were proven true there isn't a single form of defense that could undo the damage or make reparations for the creators who's data and identity was siphoned. Once knowledge is gleamed it cannot be unlearned. There isn't an option to hand over your data and afterwards say "oh actually nevermind". Remember that when deciding if you want to give Twitch a second chance. There are many other platform options with a less restrictive ToS, better ad shares, and won't try to sell you off to the highest bidder. Have standards.

Y'all have to know by now that AI is one of, if not the most hated technology in history. Y'all should be completely aware that any company currently using AI in anything is being completely and utterly destroyed. Y'all should also be aware that AI is not a money saver, nor profitable in any way, and is billions of dollars in the hole. Companies supporting AI are going bankrupt. Therefore, there is absolutely no way that y'all don't already know that if you start using AI, Twitch as a company will go bankrupt. Your company is not immune to this. AI does not look good on your company, AI will not help your company, stock holders do not want you to use AI, AI will destroy your company. Just stop.

genuinely insane behaviour what the ****

No one asked for these features, and has already harmed talented artist in our communities. That and the environmental damages Gen AI has caused and continues to cause to. We Can Live Without it!

For so many streamers their stream is a part of their identity, an extension of themselves. AI in itself is obviously wildly frowned upon by the majority that take part in the digital world and allowing CREATORS <- big word in regards to AI slop to take no part in it may be the only way most will not leave the platform all together. Allow those who take the time and effort in sculpting they're channels with their own identity and expression to keep that their own, without having to jump through hoops.

Generative AI is morally reprehensible for a number of reasons. Not providing an opt-out by default for all AI features would be a hideous violation of ethics, user integrity and brand trust.

Moreover, simply do not implement AI features. Save yourself the money sink and PR hassle.

I would personally prefer that Twitch avoid integrating AI features in any capacity, but if leadership is not willing to budge on that point I would settle for them being optional and opt-out by default.

I follow artists whose works are original and made with heart and soul. Doing this is a tremendously bad move on Twitch's part, and a violation of everything the people I follow stand for.

Please stop trying to force AI into everything. No one wants these 'features' and we're reaching a point where the water it uses up is about to put us in a state of water bankruptcy as we speak. It's not worth it in any sense of the word.

AI generated content only endangers content creators, from the disgusting, rampant deepfakes of children and women, to its use in blackmail. Twitch struggled with making word filters and safety tools to ensure malicious raids could be preventable and stopped by smaller streamers. There will be no safety for streamers if AI features are required unless people that are harmed band together to sue the company.

I am so incredibly tired of having AI "features" shoved into everything I use. I don't want Alexa to search Amazon for me, I don't need Copilot's help to send a dang email, and I didn't ask ChatGPT to write this comment for me.

It's gotten so bad that I'm now selecting platforms and software with a heavy weight given to things that do not have an AI component, and I really hope that Twitch doesn't jump feet first into this boondoggle. If AI features are added, please make them opt in, rather than opt out, for viewers and more importantly, for content creators. As a very occasional streamer and more regular viewer, I do not want my streams, my chat, or my support used to train more annoying models. I enjoy the experience of watching real people doing stuff in a community space BECAUSE it is real people doing stuff, and adulterating that content with AI slop makes it far less likely that I will engage with it. Using creator's content without their express affirmative consent to train AI will make it far less likely that I engage with the Twitch platform at all.

Kindly keep Ai out of my stream. I am human. I am using your platform and I am bringing in what i can into your platform. Bringing in Ai to train Ai how a streamer functions is just straight up bad news. Please don’t do it. Thank you.
