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 trained on creative content such as streams without explicit consent is very uncool. There needs to be at a minimum a mandatory active opt-in for this. And frankly, I would remove it from the platform altogether.

AI will not be tolerated, Twitch is signing up for disaster if they think they can take advantage of me and every other creator by using our content to train a ****** AI that will make them ultimately lose money and make everything on the site more expensive, this is the ultimate test to see if Twitch is willing to throw away every connection they have made with the communities on the site just so your shareholders can get a better paycheck. Say NO to AI. Any compromise is one steo closer to losing the right to own your own content.

I can't help but think using streamers content, which often includes their likenesses and art, to train AI without their explicit consent has to be some kind of illegal. It should, at the very LEAST, be optional and streamers should have to opt IN if they want to participate. I absolutely despise how so many websites and platforms are trying to desperately shove AI down our throats. I go out of my way on a daily basis to avoid generative AI as much as humanly possible, but they sneeeeeeak it in there everywhere they possibly can, and it enrages me. Keep that **** away from my Twitch streams.

no one asked for this and you know it. NO AI. you WILL lose users if you force this upon them. there are plenty of alternatives to Twitch. adding AI will make sure we leave.

If streams are used to train AI, I’ll have no choice but to stop streaming. I imagine most of the streamers I watch will, too.

You already ***** your employees out of most of the money they earn for your company, and now you want to use the art they create to feed AI against their will? I don't care about opt-out or opt-in, no one wants it at all, period. This move will never attract new customers but judging by the comments, you will absolutely lose customers, and I'm one of them. Adding AI does not help your employees or your users. Stop it.

All the AI is doing is making it easier to get people permanently banned for no reason you can just mass report smaller streamers and the AI will ban them and if you try to appeal it just says no you're still banned it doesn't actually look at the video to see if TOS was broken it just look at how many reports were made

Twitch is supposed to be a place where creativity is rewarded and what makes it big is their creators, AI has no place here.

I very much do NOT want genAI getting training from viewing streamers. Period. It's straight up immoral and doesn't support creative endeavors - AND, on top of that, Twitch would be using people's likenesses and content without hefty compensation. That's already some form of illegal.

I'm so tired of AI everywhere... I never needed it and never uses it, despite it all it's still there, on every websites... It makes everythings work so badly and just makes me want to not use a website anymore. I just hope Twitch will go back and cancel any AI plan and features they could have cuz man, I'm tired.

I'll have to stop using twitch if you're going to train ai with our streams. It would just be stupid to risk my intellectual property like that, even as a very small streamer.

No to AI, generative AI, LLMs whatever. This is just pure "shoveling in more coal (data) into the furnace" in some blind adherence to the "more data = better"
It's telling that these AI companies are running out of clean unpolluted data to train their environment-destroying data centers on; buying up antique books (and destroying them after scanning) and harvesting live video streams to avoid getting contaminated with AI slop.All this so a few soulless ghouls can get even more richer while the rest of us burn.

Why would I want to pay AI? AI doesn't need money. Twitch should be completely free without ads, subs, donations, and so on! Only living breathing people need money not AI.

Stop trying to force AI on everything. It's not needed, was never asked for, and no-one wants this. Anyone that says they want AI is a thief, pure and simple.

My favorite streamer crew are going to quit the site if you do this and take all their viewers with them if you do this

AI features shouldn't be in at all, end of story. So if it's being shoved in anyway let people discard it on their own terms.
