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.

Feeding people's conent to gen AI without consent violates multiple laws and it's absolutely an immoral practice that will lead to awful scenarios. Haven't you learned from Sci-Fi movies or videogames that AI tools can also be weaponised? Refrain from adding gen AI to the platform or make it so people can legit opt out of sending their data to your bot. Ignoring this backlash will cause your downfall!

Training ai? not off of us you won't. We don't want it and we don't want to "train" your stupid ai garbage.

Please do not try to force AI options on to people. You cannot just decide you're going to use people's likenesses and content without them expressly asking you to do so. This should never be Opt-out, it should always be Opt-in.
As if that wasn't a legal minefield on it's own just imagine what happens when your GenAI features start consuming games, music, and other company's media.
Everything should always be Opt-in. It's really that simple.

The entire point of your platform is to associate with a community around a creator we all enjoy for their personality or character. Using your platform to feed AI undermines that greatly. And to what end? To create an AI streamer? A heartless machine that no audience member will be able to relate to or appreciate for their personality. I understand the need to align with your owners priorities to race toward the destruction of hired labor by replacing as many tasks as possible with AI automation to cut salaries. But using one of the few remaining “third spaces” to do so is truly horrifying.

Adding default AI tools and scraping? That will enable faster and easier theft of creators' images, likenesses, voices and content. It is an absolutely terrible idea.
It will cannibalize and destroy the very creators that make twitch interesting AND profitable. -

Hard pass on AI slop. Please stop. Nobody wants it.

This is an incredibly bad decision. Financially, as well as morally on serval levels. Disregarding typical reactionary talking points Twitch has most certainly taken into account already, this is openly labeling your creators and viewers as nothing more than infinite data farms to help soften the blow for a future AI bubble collapse. People you, as twitch, have agreed to serve.
People will have their own opinions and they AREN’T stupid. Move forward with this and it’s unlikely the thousands you currently serve will stay once they find out their own labor and LITERAL IMAGE is being used against their will (regardless if you technically own the rites to such properteries)

If you want to maintain a userbase, do not use AI. to use AI for training loses a vast chunk of the Userbase that is very much against it's very soulless, uncreative being.

Crazy how it's always reported that Twitch is constantly operating at a loss, because it's about to get a whole lot worse if they add AI training based on our streams. We will all ******* leave. Everybody involved in this decision needs to step down IMMEDIATELY. I want a full on-your-hands-knees apology conference followed by prompt resignations. WE DO NOT WANT AI SLOP AND WE WILL LEAVE IF YOU CONTINUE.

Have used the site nearly everyday for like the past fifteen years. AI scraping is extremely detrimental, please reconsider

nobody wants more ai, twitch's streamers have worked very hard to create and maintain their online presence and to have ai steal all that hard work would NOT bode well for how many creators choose to stay. if twitch MUST implement it, WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE TO, opt-OUT by DEFAULT would be the bare minimum !!

No one who use the site wants AI, especially the kind of AI that will be copying what streamers are doing through machine learning.
It's generally a bad idea. -

Stop it with the genai bs. NOBODY wants it. It steals from creatives, and is literally killing the planet.
I've been streaming on twitch since 2012, for 14 years. I have been USING twitch since it was justintv. I do not want my likeness, my voice, none of that used to train some genai bs. That nobody wants. -

If this becomes a reality, I encourage everyone who enjoys streaming content to donate directly to your favorite streamers instead of monthly subscriptions.
That is, if anyone's left on the platform after this.

Creators don't want this, viewers don't want this, the implementation will cause many streamers & viewers to stop using the site altogether. Are you being heavily pressured or threatened by Amazon to do this? Blink twice for yes because I can't believe for a moment anyone but an out of touch executive with an obsession for AI would think this is a good idea to steal this amount of creative content & put it into yet another slop machine, vastly reducing the quality of this site. As time goes on sentiment for this tech nosedives, even my grandmother hates how prevalent it's become in media.
