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 will literally stop streaming if I cannot opt out of this. In fact, I shouldn't have to OPT OUT of it, it should be OPT IN and turned off by default. Personally, I would not even bother with integrating AI into your platform in the first place since the overwhelming majority of content creators DISPISE AI with a burning passion. You will see a mass exodus away from Twitch if you do this.

If AI is mandatory, you will lose me and many of my friends on your platform as a customer and user. I refuse to participate unless I can opt out of EVERYTHING involving generative AI

I do not want AI tools, AI assistants, or AI training on anything I produce on Twitch. I will leave this platform if you go in this direction. Stop trying to force this invasive, predatory technology on your userbase.

This will sabotage your own platform by driving away the creators that make it successful, and eroding future trust in a way that could be irreparable.

Genuinely what would be the benefit of ai being implemented into twitch? Is it not the main draw of twitch to see human creators? Who would want to watch an ai generated feed created by scraping others content when they can go to the content creators instead? This seems to be a financially foolish decision that only seems to benefit those who have invested in a largely unpopular technology that is being force fed upon people just to justify its existence and nothing else. If ai must be used then there absolutely NEEDS to be an option to turn it off and it should be a choice made by the creator and not activated automatically.

I will never use Twitch again if Gen AI is forced upon twitch users.

Twitch, this will literally waste all your money for no profit. As tempting as getting "free content" is. You're customers will hate this and will only continue on supporting actual human creators. Plus Ai is too expensive to keep up and you know it.

i avoid platforms that silently opt me into AI or put their AI garbage in a place of pride above actual features
I will delete my account if twitch enables AI features on it without my permission.

As a former Twitch user who was planning to become a content creator. This actually break my heart. Twitch, You have always been for Content Creators ever since your first partnership. You are the first in EVERYTHING related to any streaming genre possible and you try your hardest to make sure everyone has a fair chance. Using Gen AI to TRAIN via CONTENT CREATORS with or without their knowledge goes against your T.O.S for privacy. There have already been several cases of legit INNOCENT people being Demonetized and falsely reported because of the current A.I systems. Adding ANOTHER for Gen A.I will not only break your A.I System; It will also cause damage to your reputation, potential future Sponsorships and WILL let other Competitive for Streaming come take the very creators YOU made away. To be used for Gen A.I for Training is again; GOES AGAINST your OWN T.O.S for Privacy and Fairness. Please Reconsider this.

I do not consent to an AI being trained on my streams, content, and identity. If you're so obtuse as to force this despite the backlash, at the very least we should have the ability to opt out and be opted out by default.

AI has an absolutely negative reputation in every creative space. And implementing it in a creativity reliant platform will be equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot just because a man in a suit promises you that it will feel good if you do it.

At minimum, we should be allowed to *entirely* opt out, and should be by default. The inability to opt out, takes away (more) consent we have on Twitch as a platform, but now it's being repackaged in a way is out of our grasp.
Ideally, there are no genAI, or LLM training features from our likeness. Audience or streamer.
This would be a decision that, if I lose this piece of autonomy to opt-out of AI features, I would quit streaming wholesale because it goes against the reasons I stream and the reason my audiences tune in. I'm here to do right by them as my promise to them to provide a safe space as best I can.
Look beyond today's fearmongering over adopting another "new age" tech (NFTs, GenAI, Crypto, etc.) and continue to build upon what you already excel at consistently.

Do not apply Generative AI at all in Twitch's infrastructure. I do not want the content of streamers' I respect to be used to train AI models, and if anything would make me stop using subs at all and moving to direct donations, it would be Generative AI.

I do not want any of my content to be used to train AI, especially generative AI, and if there is no way to opt out I will no longer use this platform in any capacity.
How about instead of investing a ton of money in a broken system built entirely on theft, you invest in the creators that allow your platform to exist in the first place? A 70/30 sub split, more discovery tools, more control over ads... I guarantee that you'd waste a lot less money that way and it would make the community happier too!

If you allow this, you will literally drive a very large chunk of creators off of your platform. i'll leave, and I know a ton of others will. Adding it at all is a bad idea, but if you dont let people opt out, thats even worse.
do not use your creators to train AI, in fact do not use AI at all. i've heard nothing but negative responses when you added the AI stream summary that very poorly tries to summarize whats been happening in the stream so far, and this? this is 10x worse.

Do not use Streams to train yet another deadend BS, water evaporating, zero-relevance use case AI that nobody wants. Stealing from the people who are the reason your platform even exists is a godawful idea and is one of the highest betrayals of trust.
Either cancel plans for it it or make it entirely optional and opt-out by default. GenAI is a waste of everybody's time.

No one is asking for this. No one wants this, neither streamers nor viewers. Implementing AI is a benefit to no one but investors. Training an AI on the human made content people have provided you for years is beyond insulting. If you are gonna force it on us anyway, at least let us opt-out by default. Better yet, don't do it at all.
