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.

The day you announce training streams on generative AI is the day I cancel all my subscriptions.

That's a definitive, and a final HECK NO!
I fully heartedly agree that AI should NOT be opted by default, I mean who the **** would want to suddenly have AI on the bloody Twitch, when Most Twitch mods have been battling them for YEARS, when it comes for whatever bollocks self-promotional link comes up, or when it offers "AI viewers", **** em'!
DITCH THAT BLOODY IDEA!

The bare minimum is making it opt-out by default, they shouldn't be using Twitch to train AI at all.

Practically nobody who actually uses your platform wants this.

If my streams are used for training AI I will stop using the platform.

Even if it's optional, It's still doing its part in pushing the RAM prices and destroying the environment. I can't opt out of that even if I opt out of the features. I want it all gone.

Making any forced opt-in changes, especially AI related, is highly immoral and untransparent. Expect many users, including me, to leave the platform and eradicate our accounts if this change goes through.

Ditch the idea entirely, it's not going to do anything good

Two months later there is a surge in votes on this due to *rumour* that Twitch may train AI on their streamers' data.
A *rumour*Twitch, please recognise how many people do not want to engage with genAI on our platforms, or at least have autonomy over how it engages with our content.
The bare minimum is allowing all accounts to opt out of any kind of AI training, whether from videos, chat, settings, surveys etc. There will certainly be users who will be fine with letting you, at least give those who wouldn't the option to not.
Otherwise I can certainly see us leaving entirely

This is an idea that will only end in a mass exodus of your platform, as has happened with many before. Please dont do it

Will absolutely not be using an AI features, and will definitely push me to shop around for another platform to stream on. This is a colossal mistake on twitch's part, and puts there dedicated streamers livelihoods on the line.

here’s a summary for anyone who sees this and doesn’t want to scroll through every comment.
Everyone hates the idea of forcing streamers into having their content and streams be used to train AI. There should always be an opt out/opt in option, and if there’s not, everyone’s leaving Twitch to burn out at sea.
My opinion: I quit streaming on Twitch after they revealed they wanted affiliates to submit a face scan to AI in order to get their first payout. It’s pretty obvious on what side I’m on. ***** AI and ***** Twitch for screwing over all of their content creators by choosing AI over their creators.
Doesn’t matter how big or small you are. You help Twitch out with making money by just being on the platform. I never became an affiliate, and I’m glad I never did. I’m probs gonna delete my account.

Artists, Vtubers and many people in general hate generative AI and don't want their streams and comments to be used as train data for it, ESPECIALLY when you try to push it down our throats against our will.
If you proceed with this decision it will be the greates ad for streaming on youtube ever made, so i urge you to reconsider while you still can. -

Do not implement these features, for the sake of the people using your plateform, have the decency to respect us, streamers and viewers.

No creators are going to be okay with this. None. GenAI scraping has absolutely no place oh this or any other streaming platform. Your biggest money makers will move platforms and take their audiences with them. Twitch will NOT survive this decision.
