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.

Keep your AI slop out of my streams, please. I don't want it, keep it away. I shouldn't be forced to use "features" I don't want.

I'll leave the platform if my streams are used for AI training

Just because Twitch bought an AI and its expensive so they're trying to find out how to use it to justify its cost doesn't mean many of the people who Make Twitch Money wanted it in the first place. Dump it and use it that cash for something else that people ACTUALLY asked for.
Stop using creators who want nothing to do with AI to push AI on them and use them to train your AI when its very apparently not wanted (5166 votes at this point).

i REFUSE to let the bot be trained on my content.... any use of my brand/character/streams will be considered infringement and im very much sure alot of other content creators will say the same Twitch will have a class action lawsuit on its hands with in Days guaranteed

Hey, the moderation AI and review system is already stupid and proven to be performing abysmally. The fact you want to use creator livestreams to train your AI is a ******** Idea.

No one in their right mind would Opt In into having their likeness or voice used FOR FREE to train AI. You would 100% lose money so quickly if this was ever implemented, I don't care if I have the choice to participate I would be finding a new platform that doesn't mess with AI at all.

The only reason twitch is as successful as it is now is because of HUMAN interaction. Nobody would watch AI industry plants meant to promote something, people want to see actual humans play a game and react to it in their own way.
The only possible explanation is that you don't care about Twitch as a platform and wish to kill it, which you have successfully been doing for years now. Do better, become a better platform and you will see better results. Keep pushing stuff like this and you will end up replaced, very easily

Twitch will probably die when AI comes in. No sane person will want to feed smth like that and the ones that will stay are the ones with either no other place to go to (there are some pretty good options for streamers though) or people you normally don't want on your platform since they will not bring you the good reputation. I remember when Twitch was a platform for users and streamers and not against users and streamers. Please keep AI out of this, it will only hurt you and us.

If AI use is not opt out by default and/or there is no easy way to opt out, I will stop all use of my money on the site both bits and subs and just support the streamers on other sites and watch them on other sites when relevant. No one wants AI. I stream on occasion and will switch to youtube or something and delete all my vods if this is not handled correctly. Ideally, AI would not even be implemented. Implementing it all is a bad look. Trying to make it mandatory or opt-in by default is absolutely moronic.

I've been creating content online for 10 plus years now, expending hundreds if not thousands of hours slowly learning how to better my stream and create something I'm proud of. I have switched platforms before and will do it again if Twitch moves forward with training generative AI on streamers feeds. Framing this as a "boon" to streamers is a farce, and simply just a way to increase revenue for Twitch. please we implore you to reject this concept as we are not your library of Alexandria to be trained on.

YEAH let creators choose that they don't want AI near their channels. AI is horrible and an easy way to tank the whole platform.

I’m so disappointed in twitch for going this route. I really believed for a bit that despite the drawbacks that they at least cared about their creatives on the platform to a degree. This is just a massive slap in the face. Nobody wants AI slop on the platform, and nobody wants their streams stolen to feed an AI that will end up replacing them in the future. If this goes live you will lose a huge amount of traffic and revenue, and I’ll be cheering along.

I will in fact cancel all my subs and never stream or watch streams again if AI ******** goes into effect. I will not support a company cramming AI into things that do not need or even benefit from AI, especially when they try to refuse the ability to opt out or try to trick people by opting them in by default.

We do not need another platfrom farming human creativity to teach some overpriced electricity conuming engine. Just stop with adding AI to everything. Twitch does not need to incorporate genAI into the platform. Stop it. Get help.

Sick of this. Sod off with this AI ******** - no one wants it. No-one needs it. It is theft and surveillance and very little besides. You could not PAY me to contribute to it.

Please, for the love of all that is good, don't do this. If AI gets implemented, I'm flat-out moving elsewhere. No one wants this. Besides, as others have put, you already pay the typical affiliate less than the average employee. I guarantee you that if you guys add AI, that will be the straw that broke the camel's back for thousands - me included.

Using AI on streams is a stupid idea. Streamers are famous for their creativity and AI could never replace that.

Live streams are so fun because of all the *human* interaction. People talking to people gaming, drawing, or Just Chatting. No one likes bot chats, and I don't know a single person that would want to watch a bot stream. If the intention is to train GenAI models on streams, than I, and I'm certain many others, wouldn't like our content included. If GenAI is completely avoided, that would be the best outcome, but if it has to come to this, the suggestion for opt-out is one I'm completely on board with. Give us the option to disable GenAI features, and keep our content out of training data, preferably with it disabled by default. Most of all, everyone wants full transparency, if any feature, especially one related to GenAI, is added to the platform, we want to know about it right away, or even in advance if possible
