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.

No. Absolutely not. ABSOLUTELY not. Twitch is a platform filled with creative people from all walks of life, and the vast majority of them oppose generative AI -- and particularly the use of their own work to train AI models.
This shouldn't be an "opt-out". This shouldn't be a thing AT ALL.
Do better.

AI has ruined a lot of peoples trust in everything; from video games to art and even commercials on actual TV. Most people get turned away from the thought of AI being used on themself as a human being. The fact that most trust Twitch as a streaming platform alone should be the major thing AI should NEVER touch; human interaction with other humans just wanting to show fun and being entertaining to one another. If AI is implemented by default then expect 90% of your well known popular streamers go and find other places to stream or even make their own website for humans, by humans, and no AI nonsense. This is such b.s.

After twitch had already raised the prices on subscriptions (subsequently hurting many small streamers) the rumored future data scraping of twitch BY twitch is incredibly disheartening. It feels more and more that twitch does not care for its associates and the small platforms that they've created.
If this does get pushed out into the pasture I hope that Twitch will allow channels to opt out and set it by default to opt out otherwise I fear that the platform as it's known is going to change dynamically and not for the better.
Not to mention AI agent costs have been going up as RAM prices also go up. This choice is just again, going to harm smaller streamers.
I dissent with Twitch pushing more AI features when they were not asked for, especially gen ai.

No one wants AI for their streams!
I design my own PNGs I don't need it going through an AI system nor do I want AI help.
No one wants AI on Twitch EVER.If AI comes to Twitch, I will be removing all my content. Again, I am not having any of my art snagged by anyone let alone AI

I have always staunchly opposed the use of AI in creative spaces where humans have stood for centuries. Doesn't matter what content is being made. I don't want ANY AIs AND AI companies anywhere near my channel and my content. Either allow streamers opt out of AIs training themselves on OUR content, or you'll hear from my lawyers. A streamer's content is THEIRS. To violate that without receiving their express and informed consent first is positively vile. I won't stand for it.

As a streamer who is an artist in a marginalized group, allowing AI to train off streams will add fuel to the fire that bigoted people are lighting.
They can generate AI content of streamers saying or doing anything they want them to say/do so they can pull an "I told you so".
It would be better if the plans to train AI on our streams were shut down.

AI is unethical and unacceptable. If people want to be apart of it, OK, but most of us do not. Fix this ASAP. Thank you.

Nobody is asking for this slop garbage you're planning to implement on Twitch. We don't want AI for our streams. We don't want AI on Twitch AT ALL

Thank you good old USA for giving companies a kickback for integrating AI into anything. Shoehorning it in as hard as they can for a big fat paycheck too.
Like all have been saying here IF you guys decide to add in any AI feature(s) please make it both Opted out from the start and have a toggle switch to turn it off and leave it off. Not update and it turn back on again.
This will cause many to leave the platform and never return (if those users hold to the promise of that anyway) and it'll hurt the platform way more than benefitting it.

This is genuinely one of many of the worst decisions Twitch has decided to force onto its streamers. No one wants generative AI in creative based spaces except for people who can't be creative themselves.

I absolutely do not want anything I do on Twitch to be used for any AI. If it must be included, it should be OPTIONAL and opt-out by default. I do not want AI features.

I would remove myself and all of my content from Twitch entirely. I don't want my art nor my likeness being taken in part or in whole for training data, period. Should this happen without my direct, knowing, and fully optional opt-in consent, I will be seeking a class action suit against Twitch and their parent company Amazon.
