How can we improve Twitch for Creators?

Creators and Stream Features: Feature Requests

Categories

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.

    We don't want AI anywhere near content creators, period. It's harmful and thievery to the hard working and creative minds.

    I will most likely stop streaming if this is implemented. I have been an affiliate for almost 7 years now, but this is too far

    If our content is to be used for AI Training, you can expect a mass exodus to happen. People WILL leave and take their money elsewhere. Say NO to GenAI.
  • FerusDomina commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't want any of my content used to train AI. Make it opt out by default, make it easy, and see how few of us actually want this garbage. Stop pushing this on us, you have other things to fix first.

    If this is implemented, even if its optional, im not giving more money to twitch with suscriptions and, if i can, i would avoid Ads too

    Twitch has to know how unpopular this is by effectively forcing it on all users by default. This is such a disrespectful, scummy move that will drive users away from your platform. It makes my skin crawl to think that my work could be fed to the garbage machine with limited options to refuse. You have to know that this is unwanted. You cannot possibly be this stupid (unfortunately, I can believe it).

    twitch needs to improve better things than using generative IA to do whatever they want. IA is no the future, the future is improving the streamer tools and QOL, adding useful resources, improving user experience, and a lot of other things.

    Twitch is built on connections between people: streamers and viewers. That connection cannot be replicated, only eroded and feeding your creators into training models eats away at the foundations of the entire platform. Please, so many people depend on this space. It would be better to defend your users from being used for generative AI but at least allow everyone to have a choice to opt in.

    I think it's crazy ho much you're forcing AI into a subset of the Internet that DOESNT NEED IT

    STOP KILLING THE WORLD. WE DONT NEED THIS KIND OF AI
  • Andy_Arkwright commented  ·   ·  Report

    I seriously don't get why every company is so desperate to get in on AI when it's so obvious nobody wants it. I seriously expect that, if and when twitch does this, people will switch to another streaming platform.
  • valerynorth commented  ·   ·  Report

    Generative AI is plagiarism, pure and simple. I do not want anything I do to be associated with it, I do not want anything I create fed into it, I do not want to use it in any way, shape, or form.
    Opt-out by default is very much the compromise position here.

    I will delete my Twitch account if this happens, and I'm far from the only one. Don't destroy what little goodwill you have left because some idiot execs at Amazon with more money than sense think this will make a few bucks. Is Amazon actively trying to destroy Twitch? That's really the only conclusion that I can come to. Please realize that this is an incredibly scummy decision that will completely alienate your userbase, and that userbase won't be coming back once the "AI" bubble pops and you're forced to roll everything back.
  • AndrewDavidJ commented  ·   ·  Report

    No AI slop please. Do not feed creatives’ works to AI without their consent.
  • EmSprashu commented  ·   ·  Report

    Even IF GenAI was as useful as companies seem to think, it has no place on Twitch! Twitch is for the creatives and the people who work hard, day and night to provide entertainment or educational content. It's built on connection, community and passion, none of which can be taught to a machine.
    If this does get through, even against the wishes of many many creators, the platform WILL suffer the consequences of it. I for one, will definitely look for other alternatives to stream on, and I do believe many others will do the same. Not only will the platform lose money that won't be earned by some of us anymore, which might be insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but doing this equals to spending loads on something that has already proven to be a money sink. Multiple GenAI services are already in the negative and it will happen to Twitch too. On top of it all, we haven't even talked about the horrible environmental impact it has.
    From all angles it is simply the worst idea that has been pitched. We do not want this on Twitch!

    Please Please Please make ALL Ai optional. Come on Twitch, you guys know it won't end well!! You don't have to join the bandwagon.

  • freaky_hyfa commented  ·   ·  Report

    Twitch, do NOT go down the ai route. No one in their right mind would approve of this.
  • XiosChiano commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have been struggling to get back to streaming after being forced to run linux due to tech issues. And this just makes me not want to bother returning. We have one person helping carry our small channel doing minecraft mondays at this point and I might just ask her to not bother anymore.

    Cause Amazon wont listen to us. Even if they make it opt-in and not opt-out. They'll just use the data anyway. Why? Cause they'll just deal with the future class action as a cost of doing business. Our government has no back bone to make the legal ramification corporations have to pay actually matter. It's just a fee to get what they want. So the only thing we can do is just not give them data. And that friggen sucks cause that means giving up on streaming.

    I am so tired of this **** happening in every creator space.

    -Xios.
