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.

I do not want to be a part of Twitch's automatic enrollment to train genAI based off my streams. And naturally, a majority of people loath this is even being considered.

No one wants this. It doesn't make Twitch better. It just makes the majority of your user base upset and not want to use your platform. Stop it.
However, if it MUST be implemented (it doesn't), People should have the choice to opt out.

The #1 appeal of Twitch for me is the creators who use the platform. I encourage Twitch to make any AI features opt-in, as using creators streams for AI training will undermine my trust in the platform and will encourage creators to stream elsewhere.

You cannot pay me to use AI in the first place, do not think I would allow you to use anything of mine for AI in any way shape or form.

This really needs to include specifically the ability to opt out of our content being used for any AI model training or related actions.

How cool is it that twitch wants to open itself into being sued into dust by training AI on millions of hours of copyrighted video game IPs from basically every litigious corporation?

the best thing would be to disallow AI features from ever coming to this platform

Twitch, from the very beginning in the justin.tv days, has always been about people at its core. People connecting over a shared passion for video games. It has since evolved to include every facet of creativity and highlighting the people who embody the *process* of creation.
Being in a live format differentiates twitch from other platforms. The ability to include live audiences into content creation is one of its greatest boons. To implement genAI features and tools into the platform is to hollow out the very core of the community, the creators and the platform itself.
Generative AI may be able to make a facsimile of live content, but it is always hollow. It is an empty shell of regurgitated information. I believe, fundamentally, that genAI will never be able to make a product that audiences on twitch are going to be interested in, long term.
Because it may seem like novel gimmick now, but twitch is about long-form content. About forming bonds with real people. Cultivating a community that shares a passion about every form of expression. And if you reduce the product to a pretty face with no underlying foundation for support, you can't be surprised when it all comes crumbling down. -

The best thing Twitch could do is respect their creators and not implement ANY AI. It's bad for creatives and bad for the environment.

Do NOT add AI, no one wants it, stop, I'm so sick of this do I need to just not use the internet at all now because I'm so done with this slop being forced on us. AI is not intelligent, it's just glorified theft behind a mask. It is not beneficial to human kind, its nothing but predictive it does not actually learn. It's a giant pollution beam to destroy, control, and propagandize those who are not the rich. I hope every company trying to force AI lose everything.

There has been no shown efficency gains for use of generative AI tools.
You will waste our time as creators and we will never see a cent of compensation for anything you generate using our work.
You will waste your money as a corporate entity and will make an already critically cost heavy process cost even more.
Even if there is an "opt out button" we all know you aren't going to abide by it.
Nobody wins, end of line.

While there are specific applications in which some amount of "AI" assistance could be useful for user and streamers, it really should be a clear visible option, and at the very least anything which uses user content for training should be, by default an Opt-Out setting, and fully respect that choice. For example, if "AI Summary" is off, don't try and keep running a summary just in case they turn it on. I'd think this should be an obvious direction, as why waste the compute, unless you're using it for something else as well, which then would definitely be important to disclose.
As so many models are trained off data with questionable provenance, you should be VERY clear with what is collecting information, when, and how it will be used, and stick strictly to it.

I will honestly say that this idea does not go far enough.
MAKE ALL AI FEATURES DIE IN A FIRE.

I am absolutely against AI, I recognize people are allowed to choose what they choose.
But that being said, my choice is to not let people recreate my voice/art/anything I do.If this is forced, or even snuck, into everything. I will actively have no choice but to end usage and boycott.
Which is terribly frustrating, as I am running out of social spaces to interact with my friends for this very reason -

AI is a horrible waste of resources and a slap in the face to the hard-working creators that make Twitch the platform that is today. Do NOT implement this feature in any way, shape or form.

You shouldn’t not implement this feature at all. AI is a waste of electricity, horrible for the environment, the biggest theft machine ever created, and just makes trash media
