Shoehorning AI into every product is beyond idiotic. Get a grip and start respecting your user base for once.

The vast majority of us creators who have made our home here over the years DO NOT WANT THIS.

THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BENEFIT FOR US. I WILL NEVER CONSENT TO YOU USING MY STREAM TO DO ANYTHING WITH AI.

PLEASE, scrap your plans. You will absolutely tank your brand loyalty with us if you implement this.

If you're not going to listen to your userbase, EVERY SINGLE AI FEATURE needs to be set to off by default.

If someone really wants this, let them opt in. Keep us out of it.

PLEASE.

Don't even waste the time or money. You've already lost billions on AI, and trying to force it to invade such a creative space will only result in not only money lost on the AI itself, but lost ad revenue too as creators flee the platform. No one who isn't an executive has any use for GenAI, and it should be completely excised from the human interaction that happens every day on twitch.

DO NOT USE AI

Using AI for twitch, or anything that is about human expression, shouldn’t even be a consideration but this is Amazon so the best we can do is have a compromise.

If generative AI is such a wonderful thing then it should be opt in, with users opted out by default. If it’s this amazing technology that Amazon says it is, then users will choose to opt in. The only reason to force users to use it is if your desperately trying to make generative ai look good and artificially inflate usage numbers.

My job involves ai so I’m not a Luddite, but there are just some things ai shouldn’t touch or be involved in. Ideally there should be no ai on twitch, but the least Amazon can do is make it optional and opted out by default

I cannot possibly express my anger at Generative AI, at it being shoved into everything we enjoy. It is bad. AI is so bad, and it makes your product worse.
I do not wish to use bad product.

Reconsider.

Why do we need AI in the first place..? But of course Amazon owns Twitch so they are forcing the AI hype down our throats.

If they force implement this its Youtube for watching streams I suppose

If implemented I promise I will permanently stop using this app and will end all paid subscriptions. You will lose my business permanently.

I cannot support a non-opt out version of this. if this AI slop nonsense is forced down my throat I will be leaving Twitch and encouraging everyone else to do the same.

**** AI

If any genAI features get added to Twitch I will stop using this platform full stop. NO I don't want ANY OPTIONS RELATED TO AI BECAUSE I DON'T WANT AI

This would hurt so many creators and they don't deserve to have their careers crumble because of genAI

Once again, **** AI get that **** out of here and don't even consider it again

if it gets implemented, I hope this site crashes and burns. it will be deserved. stop shoving your ai **** down our throats. you already have enough money you greedy sobs

Make it so we're opted out by DEFAULT and have to opt in, or don't have it at all.

We all joined twitch before this was ever a risk to our content. None of us consented to this feature, and I'm pretty sure the majority of us would NOT have joined your platform in the first place if we knew our content was to be scraped for the benefit of corporations.

AI changes are guaranteed to tank your platform. No one will take you seriously, and you will lose extortionate amounts of money. Is that AI really worth it in the long run when you lose your money makers because of it?

we get punished if it just *sounds* like we have copyrighted music on our stream, yet you can steal our IP and use it however you like? Yea that's a no from us, chief.

Using real time people's likenesses and creative work to train generative AI is a complete betrayal to the artists and streamers! Streams are not free training data for Amazon. It's so out of touch and predatory!

Another platform is forcing AI features on users and taking away their choices. Forced implementation will not bring any good

A platform made for the benefit of creators, to allow people to make money off streaming, should never try to put those same people out of a job by stealing their very likenesses to train LLM.

Also, this decision is incredibly tone deaf to what the majority of people want. Public opinion is extremely anti-generative AI. Pushing this is a bad financial decision.

Just because I choose to put myself on the internet with streaming does not give you the right to feed my voice or content through AI. If twitch decides to go through with this I will look for another place to stream

If twitch implements this many people will just stop streaming or watching streams, me included.

Twitch does not need to use genAI. Its strength lies in real, human interactions between viewers and casters. We have no desire to participate in this mania. I also don't understand how you intend to make money on a technology that most people find repulsive and know is bad for the environment, eliminates jobs, impedes creativity and critical thinking. It seems certain that whatever losses Amazon is eating for Twitch will be made much worse by forcing this potentially disastrous implementation. You still have time to walk back this idea before irreparable harm comes to the platform.

No no, Twitch, go ahead. I'm sure you'll figure out some secret the big tech companies haven't, and somehow avoid joining the $1.5+ trillion debt pit to make money off this somehow. Who DOESN'T want to be a part of Enron v2?

(and yes, ethically, this is a rat-**** decision. But maybe Twitch will listen to an argument about money)

Twitch does not need AI, please remove it.
