We don't want AI, get that slop ouuut of here.
If you want to give creators a choice I don't want AI, if you are pretending that there is an illusion of choice and its happening anyways then give us creators an option to opt out of it.

If this AI garbage is implemented, I personally know several creators with tens of thousands of followers who will abandon the platform. I've only got a few hundred myself, but I will do the same.

It is poison to the creators, the creative process, the audience and to what Twitch/Amazon cares the most about - their bottom line.

I wish it to be gone completely, I don't want to see it AT ALL but if they insist then making it 100% optional and opt-out by default AND they STICK TO IT, then that's better than nothing...

I agree on that and want to add my voice to it

It shouldn't be added At All, if twitch and amazon do this then they will lose a LOT of streamers from their platform, and as such will lose a LOT of their revenue.
Given the fact that Generative AI has been hemorrhaging money almost non stop since day 1, I can't understand how a supposedly money savvy company like Amazon would even consider it as a viable business investment.
Every massive company doing it loses at least 50% of the projected profits annually if they're open about the numbers and hides the losses amongst their other ventures if they're Not open about the numbers.
Given the vast majority of their userbase will jump ship if this isn't even an opt-able "feature", they'll lose even more than most.

it's absolutely stupid that this is debated at all, especially when one runs a company that depends on HUMAN-MADE CONTENT. there are all these other companies that even just mention using GenAI and people are dropping them one by one with more than sufficient reasoning as to why (do i really have to mention the destruction of the environment, etc?). why theyd think that using AI would suddenly now give them some sort of edge is insane. people will be leaving your platform and boycotting the service if GenAI is your answer. we've seen it in multiple other companies and we've also seen that adults nowadays (those who turned 18 lately) know very well how to identify AI generated content and rather avoid a company that uses it, because it comes off as cheap, even with "good GenAI". why anyone would then choose to use AI in their company because they think it'd enrich their model is beyond me, but it wouldnt be the first time that Twitch didnt listen to anyone so i wouldnt be surprised if they went through with the whole AI thing and turned it on by default anyway.

I'd rather not have any genAI, but if it HAS to be present, make it optional and opt-out by default 100%

please no Ai features, we do not want them..

This is flat out stealing from creators. A huge no from me. I know I speak for the huge majority of Twitch when I say, we do not want this. We hate AI.

I ended up disabling all forms of VOD on my channel entirely because of rampant GenAI LLM scraping that was happening via third party outside sources to Twitch. (FrostyTools, etc) as well as due to false bans being handed out to marginalized streamers as a side effect of "AI moderation" methods generating false positives with no clear way to resolve the issue with a living person.

I'd really appreciate if Twitch / Amazon would not start going down this GenAI rabbit hole. I don't consent to anything being used in GenAI LLMs whatsoever.

I already had to endure deepfake harassment once in my lifetime.

Hello, no. Actually that isn't a good idea because we already know AI will cost you more money. AND this will ruin the trust of nearly everyone on the platform. We love our creators because of them, not because they are content and data to be sold. This is a foolish endeavor and it's not even worth it. What do you think you're doing?!

I was planning on making my return to streaming, but I will not return if this is a feature. GenAI sucks, plain and simple. I refuse to train the machine.

If training on AI doesn't become optional, I might legit just quit Twitch completely which sucks because I have been enjoying Twitch despite only have been streaming for a year at this point

Please no GenAI, how many companies try to make their own thing? How many make a profit? How much money do they lose trying to make it work? I get that Amazon has tons of money but it will just lose money by doing this, please don't implement this anywhere.

I do not consent to my work being in any way involed with the environmentally-destructive-community-destroying-billionaire-funded-bigoted-unethical theft machine. I do not want this kind of AI on the platform at all; it will never be acceptable or appropriate, and literally goes against my beliefs.
What? You want to be sued that badly? Boycotted to **** with no recovery? For once, listen to your userbase, because we’re the reason you continue to operate.

These AI features have to be opt out, or better yet not implemented in the first place. Not only is it a good way to lose a large chunk of the streamers on the platform, but I just have to assume some of the producers of the games that are played on the platform will not be thrilled about their product being fed into the machine that makes bad copies

If creators will be forced into Gen AI training, I do expect we will be financially compensated for the content we provide? Especially for those of us who are doing it for free. It’s flagrant theft otherwise Twitch.

you want to train your AI on *my* streams? enjoy your poisoned data lmao

As someone trying to become a Twitch streamer, I am not excited to heat that you want to use any of your affiliates, subscribers and partners for AI training purposes. I am concerned that you will be harming your services immensely. Make this opt out by default and more practical ideology would be to NOT train AI on your streamers at all.

The AI Training should not be a feature to begin with. This feels like one of those "using ai for the sake of having ai" kind of deals. It's not needed nor wanted by anyone. Stop creating data skimmers with a random noise generator and partial favorable outcome algorithm and calling that "AI". It's not intelligent.

Why would Twitch *ever* think its userbase would be okay with being fed into the theft machine? This is cultural vandalism and whoever proposed it should be blacklisted from the industry.
