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.

We deserve the choice to opt out of it completely as not everyone is keen on being used to train data. We’ve been saying for a while a good majority of us are against AI or being used for AI training. Please let us opt out of it before it ends in people leaving the app in droves.

I do not want my artwork process used for mandatory generative material, and I do not want my own model used for mandatory generative material either. Make it Opt Out by default if it is to be applied.

Nothing about allowing generative AI to train off streams would benefit the platform.

I don't see how this could possibly be a good thing. We are already reaching a tipping point of people being sick with AI and that's when you decide that you want to implement MORE AI features? Awful decision for the platform.

No one wants this. In fact we actively do NOT want this.
Keep the slop generators away from us. -

I'll go one further and say that I wont be streaming on Twitch anymore AT ALL if they add any AI features to this platform, opt out or not.

Any plan being considered to harvest streams for GenAI without consent, is a punch in the face for every creator who has made your platform worth a ****. If you think this will achieve anything but cause a mass-movement of talent and subscribers away from Twitch, you are deluded.

Using creators’ work to train AI models is theft and exploitation. At least have the decency to make the theft and exploitation voluntary. I follow a lot of very active Twitch partner streamers that make the platform a lot of money, and all of them would leave the platform if their content was being used to train AI models. All of their viewers would also leave.

There is absolutely nothing in this proposal that is desirable for streamers or followers. No AI would be preferable.

You add AI to Twitch, I'll subtract my subscriptions from the platform. Easy equation.

This is an awful idea that will not in any meaningful way improve your service, will open you up to massive swaths of liability, and if this is implemented I am completely and utterly prepared to move to a competitor without a second thought.

Will cancel any and all financial support if AI is used to train on creator data in any fashion

I use twitch to stream my art process, and I absolutely don't want any of it, specially commissions, to be used to train any A.I., neither myself. Please do NOT implement it, or if your high people with the money still wants it, put it OFF by default, or at least warn us before hand to let it turned off. If you don't have any way to turn it off, I will be removing myself from the platform with the risk that my work and my image is used without my consent.

How about we just *don't* train AI at all? AI is built on theft and destroying the planet. Most people, especially creatives, absolutely hate it. It's going to cause you to lose business. Just. Don't.

No one wants AI slop in general. You did not listen to the community when we overwhelmingly said to not use AI for emotes with BeastGames and CatintheChat. You did not listen to the community when we overwhelmingly said we do not like the AI slop being used for the art category pictures and many others. If you do not listen here, I genuinely will go deal with being harassed on other platforms instead of continuing to do my business on Twitch. I am not complying to a regime that thinks AI needs to be in our lives, and needs to be gathering all of our personal data for it to be trained on.

A strong portion of the population don’t support AI in a general sense. Using AI to steal from streamers’ unique ideas is gross, unethical, and undermines why people view streamers on twitch at all. Requiring streamers to opt-in to AI features will lead to an exodus of streamers.

It is CRITICAL to me to have this as an option. I don't want my data to be used to train anything, and all I can see this being used for at present is a way to create streams without having to pay successful users.
It is an invasion of privacy and data rights, as well as a poor use of time and resources, and I don't want it at all, but at the VERY least I want to say NO
