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.

How are companies so blind to the fact that the vast majority of people absolutely hate when their things are used to train AI in any way, shape, or form, and are completely repulsed by anything using Generative AI or AI trained off of other people's work? Keep AI training and Generative AI thinks as far away from content creation as possible.
I can't think of a greater way for Amazon and Twitch to say "We don't care at all about the content creators that use our platform. We only care about what we can do to pad our bank accounts with cash.", than to start using AI Training or Generative AI. Just don't do it, Amazon and Twitch, unless your plan is to completely destroy your business by driving the majority of your consumer base and content creators away in absolute disgust.

Stupid pathetic choice to involve AI at all. Company cant make a good feature so now they are going to add some half baked AI training to pay their bills. ******** twitch.

AI features would be a waste of time and money no matter what the developers of Twitch think it would be.
Just don't bother with it and it'll be totally fine. -

If anything related to Ai generation or else appear on twitch I'll simply stop using it and follow the creators elsewhere.
And of course I'll not be streaming anymore there too of course. -

give me a ******* break with this. twitch is one of the last websites on the stupid idiot box internet that actually actively encourages people to MAKE things and DO things and be present and engage with community and people. it's not creating for an algorithm, it's not optimizing and outsourcing and automating. it's real people building real communities full of other real people. pushing themselves and their own creative capabilities to build something that is theirs. i don't give a **** how broke twitch is, or how bad amazon wants their data. your website is not the next youtube, it never will be, it will never have youtube money, and selling my voice to palantir won't move the needle a ******* inch. turning your back on your creator base for the sake of the shareholders will doom this website faster than any decision made so far

stop advertising me buzzwords like "ai". it's a 99% useless app that gets advertised constantly to make people think they want it.

No to generative AI, you'll force a lot of people off your platform.

I don't want AI, period. But if you have to add AI I want no part of it with my streams and want an option to not have to participate. No AI features, not AI data training, nothing.

I feel like twitch developers are living in a glass box that's painted black. Absolutely asinine that the owners of twitch aren't seeing the news of how forcing AI on ANY user base speed run kills those platforms.
PRIORITIZE USER/CREATOR HAPPINESS OVER CHASING A DOLLAR SIGN!

Nobody wants this. This is once again putting profit above every user and streamer on this website.

I'd prefer to have clean drinking water than have your platform train some toasters off streaming content.

Terrible idea, will only harm creators and the platform. No one wants AI content. I’ll be done with Twitch if any of this is defaulted to ‘on’. It’d be better to not train AI at all.

Fairly certain this would violate many privacy laws when used on IRL streams, in addition to multiplayer games where others have not agreed to any Twitch ToS

Twitch, leave Gen AI off the platform. As a creator, I absolutely do not want this.

I want no AI. None. Stop trying to force insane, universally despised, ideas upon your user base.

I don't want generative AI involved in Twitch or my stream at any level. It should go without saying if you implement this feature I and many others will ditch your platform in a heartbeat. I should have a right as a creator using your platform to opt out of this, as well as reject its use wholesale. Do better. Don't jump on this sinking ship of an environmentally hazardous sinkhole tech trend

how about just don't do any AI and enjoy having a website where people stream still.
