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.

Ideally, Twitch(& everywhere else on the internet) shouldn't be training AI & allowing AI slop, BUT please have a guaranteed opt-out & not some, "We'll have a menu to opt you out but it secretly still trains on you" nonsense

Your users don't actually want generative "AI," and resent having it imposed on us.

If AI is forced I will straight up delete my twitch account and it will be an incredibly easy decision

Please do not use user made content for generation training - so many people already struggle to get themselves out there on services like this and contributing to AI platforms will only serve to damage what's already so tenuous for creators.

I have been working on twitch for the past 10 years but if Twitch decides to opt into this nonsense, quite literally going against everything their 'creative' platform is right now I will simply pack my stuff and kill my contract and start working on Youtube fulltime.

The consistent roll out of AI tools on this platform when so many creators are not interested is such a shame. If staff are really considering using our streams that we spend so much time and creative effort on to train a GenAI model, I will feel so uncomfortable on this platform. Opt-Out by default should be the bare minimum to protect us from our creative work being stolen without our consent.

AI features aren't wanted by creators or our viewers, people come to watch livestreams to interact with the people behind the production, not some auto-generated facsimile of them.
If Twitch is truly meant to be a platform where all different types of artists can be celebrated, digital artists, physical artists, musicians, etc, then scraping people's work for AI "features" is in direct opposition to that mission. -

We don't want any AI features on the site let alone AI being fed our data for training this shouldn't be a thing that we need to tell you people

We are not your training data. If you care about the life of your platform, make it opt-out at an absolute minimum, and ideally scrap the idea entirely.
Some of us have already had our intellectual property stolen to make tech bros richer. Stealing our streams to train Generative AI makes that all the worse.
You wouldn't tolerate us infringing copyright - don't infringe ours.

I think it is really important that all Generative AI features, especially those that use user data or streamer data for training, should be off by default.

Using twitch streams for generative ai training is extremely dangerous, it would allow anyone to impersonate anyone on this site, saying whatever they want. Imagine your most popular streamers getting arrested because someone ai generated them threatening to commit acts of terror, thats a lot of money gone just to appease stupid shareholders.

Keep AI away from Twitch. There is no reason that generative AI should be used in any capacity on Twitch.

keep AI the **** out of twitch. adding automatically opted in AI ******** is a great way to finally kill this platform. opt-out by default is the absolute bare minimum, but the only real solution people will approve of is ripping out pointless AI features entirely

You're going to kill us all to make a quick buck.
Gen AI is destroying natural resources we can't get back, taking the human creativity and running it through garbage without our consent so you can one day generate a fake imitation of us that you don't have to pay it. You don't want streamers, you want a product you can package and sell.No generative AI. At ALL.

even disregarding the ethical side, AI is a dumb gimmick that most people don't really like. Use it for translation and transcribing if you absolutely have to

I refuse to have my art and my self used to train machines that only exist to put people out of work, and to drain the world's natural resources.

I do not condone to what content I make, and thusly the content of what may be shown during the streams I do. If such things are allowed, it will open up a slew of legal ramifications due to copyright laws and would ultimately destroy the user-base of many categories who will no longer wish to be a part of the platform.
The features are unnecessary and whatever cash-grab has been promised is nothing but a falsehood, as it has been already shown that AI is a failing profit model. This will bleed the platform dry with nothing to show for it. Do not go forward with these features, nor force any features to be thrust upon users.
