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.

I’m so sick of Generative AI being shoved in my face at every aspect of life. I would love any AI features to be off by default and only turned on if I decide I want to. I am genuinely considering leaving Twitch completely if the features are mandatory.

At bare minimum opt-out should be default but would much prefer you don't implement these features at all. Streamers will leave Twitch en-masse and you'll tank your brand completely like this. I for one will delete everything off Twitch and move platforms elsewhere. This is ridiculous.

I do not want any generative AI on Twitch at all; if such features are implemented I fully intend to stop streaming on Twitch altogether

I don't want gen AI on Twitch at all. If this happens I'll both delete my account and stop watching streams on this platform altogether.

... this is garbage. I finally build a community, and then this. Absolutely not. If this comes to be, I'm done

Another voice saying, if there's AI, I say goodbye. End of.

Arguably it shouldn't even be on the platform at ALL. It's a horrific breach of trust for not just artists who use the platform, but for all people who stream with a face-cam or VTuber model. It's incredibly unsafe for these people to have their likeness stolen and ripped into AI services.

All features using generative AI should be opted out by default, with the option to allow users to opt in. No questions asked.
Twitch needs to understand and respect their users, and doing so means knowing that many users do not want to be used to train generative AI against their will, and either not implementing this kind of training on their platform at all, or making it an opt-in function.

They were already using genAI for category pictures, so I'm not even surprised. Imagine being so out of touch to think that ANY of this is okay. I'd rather die than participating in training their dogshit delusions... Oh wait ! WE ARE DYING HERE.

I am a composer and I write music on stream. I will in no way take part in any of this - it is disgraceful that it's even being considered. None of my music will be used to train your generative AI. If you go through with this, I am going to be forced to move to a different platform immediately.
You have time to rethink this. Please do so, and listen to what your streamers actually want.

No to training Generative AI. If the user's opinions get ignored, I'm swapping to a different platform.

If I find out my channel is being used to train AI I will delete my account entirely, Unironically we have better options that shave less of our revenue off, if I have to move my streams there, I will.
I would sooner starve to death than support the generative theft engines and glorified auto correct coated in shiny paint that make my power bill 4x larger and my water undrinkable.
The AI bubble cannot burst fast enough and I hope every corporate ghoul that tried to prop up this absolute buffoonery is left destitute in the process.
I wish every AI supporter the absolute worst and I wouldn't even apologize under duress.

Under no circumstances whatsoever will implementing generative AI agents -or- using your current wealth of content to train a new AI be a win for Twitch. This is the kind of massive, business-shredding blunder that CEOs get forced off the board for.
Just sayin'.

Strongly agree. I don't want ANY of my content being used to train anything. I'd prefer it not touch the site at all, but if it absolutely must, these are more than fair terms. If the project is meant to succeed and thrive, let it do so with consent from willing parties. If the knee-jerk reaction is "well then we won't get the data we need" then maybe it isn't worth the investment.

If there isn't an option to opt out I'll be forced to delete all of my content on the site & quit stream on Twitch indefinitely. AI (especially generative AI) only damages brands and makes it feel CHEAP... why would anyone invest into that. Twitch please rethink this & at least give options to avoid it.

Stealing from creators to force them compete against themself wasn't enought? Now you need to leech even more and blatantly from the creators that keep twitch afloat? No streamer or viewer find the generative AI necessary, or beneficial. This is clearly nothing more than yet another way to exploit users for the temporary benefit of shareholders.
Stop forcing generative AI and leeching for its "training".

It's such a terrible idea for a feature. I don't believe many people signed up to have their streams scraped to train AI. If you want to use creators content you need consent, it has to be a opt-in setting, WHICH IS NOT ON BY DEFAULT. Respect the people who made your platform instead of treating their content creators like free training data.
