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.

Literally no one asked for this. This is a fast pass to run this company into the ground given that majority of streamers are pro-art, and thrives on human made creativity and artistry. Completely abhorrent and disrespectful. This is wildly unethical, and will 100% backfire. Listen to the crowd and remove the features. As an artist myself who streams with other artists on occasion, we are disgusted. THIS IS LITERALLY STEALING OTHER PEOPLE'S HUMAN MADE CONTENT. STOP. No one wants this. People will jump ship elsewhere if you try. If yall care about money, you would not do this to people who literally makes yall tons of it. And I REFUSE to have me and my friend's contents to be used for such unethical means.

I'm so tired of companies trying to shove AI down everyone's throat. We don't want to 'train' your models, free or otherwise. I feel bad for all the ones that Twitch is their job & they're anti-AI. It's a huge slap in the face & shows little care to streamers.

Streaming is so over because this is even being considered... so harmful to everyone. I understand that twitch doesn't make enough money but is it worth compromising your company's morals (brand) and entire community for it? Please think a little harder if you can.

Politely, no one wants this feature. If these are features that will be forced through anyways, this need to be an opt-into and not forced for everyone and opt-out.

What would the goal even be? Why would people agree to feed gen AI with their streams if it could lead to the very downfall of streaming as a whole? The more we feed Gen AI, the more creative communities will struggle to survive. Twitch would be hurting not just the streamers in the community, but also their entire structure as a whole. Streamers will leave. Fans will leave. The money twitch makes from subs would no longer be what it once was.

This should be automatically refused. I don't understand what twitch gains from this!! It's entire model is people being on the platform and allowing ad revenue! By training Gen AI, you're taking the creatives away! I don't consent for this to happen with my streams.

This blatant theft of creator content is unacceptable in any form, and if this is pushed through all creative who left YouTube to be a part of your platform will likely leave and suggest their contacts to do the same. I myself, even with just an ambassadorship, would never wish to attempt gaining partnership, letalone ever stream here again if this became the default.

For the love of all the creators that use your site, DO NOT ADD ANYTHING AI! No one wants this. It's useless, theft, and a burden upon all it's forced upon.

if this feature goes through i'm never using twitch again. its basically giving a corporation your voice and face and your chats voices to a machine to larp as you without credit or payment. even worse they could take a beloved streamer and make them say or agree with any messaging they want

AI, has so many problems and as creatives it stands to replace us if allowed. Not to mention the environmental impacts AI and the data centers that power it causes

Read the room, Twitch. This platform was built on we, the broadcasters, creativity, artistry, performance and ingenuity. None want this stolen and fed into a machine. Opt-out by default is the bare minimum. Absolutely NO AI integration is what we really want.

I don't want twitch to use any genAI at all whatsoever. Twitch for me and most people has always been about watching other people, Human people, do things make art, play games etc and experience those things with them.

Twitch creatives should be able to opt out of any testing on the platform using their content, period. Twitch stating that they are going to use users content/streams to train generative AI is them stating they're going to steal content and use it to make other content using those people's creative property. Generative AI isn't good for anyone, it steals art from those who spent years of their lives developing those skills, it uses fresh water within people's communities that they don't get back, displaces wildlife within those regions, and it adds to global warming that is already killing off our planet. It doesn't even benefit the "rich" who use it and are trying to implement it everywhere because there won't be any consumers to buy from them once the earth is uninhabitable AND the jobs that it keeps taking from others will ultimately leave those people without an income. This is UNETHICAL! Which isn't surprising coming from a platform that hasn't improved safety measures at its cons FOR YEARS (while also allowing KIDS under 13 to attend without even fixing their security AND the fact that it's against TOS for those same kids to even be on their platform to begin with), allows higher earning creatives to break the law and get away with a slap on the wrist (driving whilst distracted etc), and constantly garners new ways to stifle content creators on its own platform. No one wants Generative AI here or ANYWHERE!

the last thing this platform needs is ai, this is a creator centric platform that has worked on it's own for years and adding ai will only damage what everyone's been working hard to do

AI is unethical in this context. We use twitch to be creative and fun, AI would be sucking that away to fake it on its own...why would twitch be wanting to find a way to replace the human element of a website built for humans???

Do not add generative AI "features". None of us want them and they will lose you money.
