Why would you ever do this. AI is trash and you are driving away creatives. Do better.

Since the vast majority of creators on Twitch are critical towards their content being used to train AI there should rather be an Opt-In option rather than being Opt-Out. Stealing data should not be the default!

We've already seen how AI has ruined youtube and made the website almost unusable. Why would you want to bring that to twitch?

I care about my content. I don't want it used to create more mindless bland garbage online. I don't want the time I spend with my friends and my community to be harvested by GenAI. I don't want the good times I've had on twitch to be tainted and for me to flee to another platform.

There is a reason why games that use GenAI get down voted on steam. There is a reason why people groan in disgust when forced to talk to an AI over the phone. Nobody in their right mind likes this ****. It's soulless and annoying and I don't want to be associated with it.

I will not watch Twitch anymore if you make this AI trash mandatory for creators.

I'm thoroughly disappointed in Twitch/Amazon's decision to push deeper into the AI systems on their platform that is for CREATIVES. If they do decide to push through with it, even though it is vehemently opposed, it should be optional and creators should be automatically opted out as the default, no ifs or buts.

There is no reason for a platform built on creativity to be training AI. Twitch, please, if you have to do this, opt everyone out by default.

only an insane person who does not care about their own growth and the growth of others would think using streams to train GenAI is a good thing. please reconsider if you ACTUALLY care about your company AND the people who stream from it.

Im speaking not only for myself, but for many other vtubers and content creators who are streaming on your plattform:

We don't want to be your—or anyone else's—test subjects for training generative AI.
Especially for us VTubers, who work with so many artists whose terms explicitly prohibit the use of generative AI, this is incredibly disrespectful. The VTuber community was built on the work of artists, so ignoring their wishes simply isn't right.

And my boyfriend is a facecam streamer. He isnt positive about that either, taking his face to train someones stupid AI. Neither I would be with my own face, if I would stream with facecam instead of a model.
When there is no opt out of this and I am FORCED into this feature, I am definitely out of it. And so many other creators too.
So you are shooting yourself in the foot by implementing this.

This is a platform based on genuine human connection and creativity. To force these features onto your users goes against everything Twitch was built on.

You already got a huge amount of push back from the AI slop emote. You've already seen all the push back every other platform has been getting. Why would you think that this was something that a majority of people wanted?

Twitch being yet another company using tech built on theft of others’ work and that destroys the environment further without providing any benefits to anyone… The people in charge have to be truly hateful. And think of how moronic it is to use this tech to steal the work of the people bringing in your money! Evil buffoonery all around.

Imagine being the most successful streaming platform on the internet currently, raking in hundreds of millions of dollars each quarter, and deciding to **** it all away on implementing "AI features" that the overwhelming amount of your userbase has been actively pushing against for years both on and off-platform all to squeeze that last cent out of your revenue.

Fix your more pressing issues first, like I dunno, the blatant predation on minors you turn a blind eye to because the streamers that're funneling them to adult sites make you money, or your hypocritical enforcement of your own TOS banning VTubers for showing too much shoulder while ignoring streams featuring live birth.

How to nuke your platform, any% speedrun

Hey, literally nobody wants this to happen. Stop stealing from creators.

There is no desire from anyone who streams or views those streams for ANYTHING in relation to Gen AI.

Twitch is what it is because of the people who use it and rest assured if this decision is followed through, the userbase will respond in earnest.

Nobody wants this. I dont want this. Please dont do this.

Can you imagine if this goes as far as copying creators images, faces, voices?
This isn't just AI slop, this is terrifying

I will not use my likeness for Generative AI, I demand for an opt-out option, if this feature were to stay. In fact, I prefer it to not stay, because this feature will be misused to some extent, either by some rando or a bad actor for revenge upon others.

We put so much of ourselves on a screen for entertainment, and for Generative AI to even touch my and other's likeness for generation - when there's already so many streamers, you're flooding that market even greater, where discovery can be further splintered. People may even have a harder time discerning one's likeness as real or generated. This is a terrible idea.

NO!
