We do not need AI, I dare say most of us don't want AI. If Twitch really feels they have to add it, then please, please make it opt in.

If my content is used to train Generative AI, I am leaving this platform and taking every other streamer I can convince with me. This is a bad move, and quite possibly the stupidest thing Twitch could possibly do. You will haemorrhage creators: The lifeblood of your platform. Don't just make it an option, don't implement AI training on users content whatsoever.

Many/most of the streamers I watch are firmly anti-AI, so if these features aren't optional I could see them quit streaming entirely despite the loss of income. And if all of the streamers I watch aren't streaming anymore, I'd have no reason to visit the site either.

As others have said, this shouldn't even be something that Twitch considers. By now, it's clear how terrible GenAI is, and how many users and streamers abhor its use. As a streamer, this is something that, if implemented, would seriously make me (and many others) consider leaving the platform. If you feel you MUST add this (and I doubt highly that it even is necessary) at least give us the option to opt-out from the get go. Pursuing this with no out is how to tank your business and your standing with the community 101.

WE are the ones that make you your money.

We spend long hours creating content, be it planning, designing, creating, researching, and all the other stuff we do off stream to prep for stream and making them interesting. Or the hours and hour we put into streaming itself.

We can spend thousands to try and make our streams vibrant, interesting and fun, and you ride on our coat-tales for all that money and effort, just collecting a virtual tax to do nothing but steal from us.

WE are the ones that bring customers to your platform.

WE are the ones investing so much money into what we create whilst you give us peanuts and just sit back and make money from all OUR hard work, passion, and money.

And now YOU want to steal what little WE have? The creative work WE make? The fun WE build with our communicates? The effort WE put in to bring people to YOUR platform?

This might not be a construction line, but WE control the means of production. WE created this platform, YOU are nothing without the work WE put in. But YOU won't let us even keep OUR hard work, OUR effort, OUR communities, OUR creative soul.

You barely, if ever, pay many of us, and yet you're happy to steal what little we have.

WE put in the work, and we don't want your ******* AI shoved down our throats. We do NOT consent!

how are you people this stupid lmao. i get that amazon has been desperate to kill the platform for years, but you could at least pretend to not go along with it

We don't need Generative AI Slop shoved down our throats. Twitch and Amazon, you must abandon all ideas of Generative AI and never, we repeat, NEVER, bring it back up. If you think of shoving this then you are dooming every streamer.

NO NO NO! NO AI. Their is soo much in the news showing how bad it is and the affects its causing. NO AI PERIOD!

If you do this I will stop using Twitch. The world is sick of AI. Tell this to your investors. Show them the backlash you will no doubt get. Stop it. Just stop it.

No one wants A.I. features, shove off twitch.

I absolutely will not stream if there is even the slightest chance that Amazon or Twitch will use my content to train generative AI.

I'm in complete agreement with what you mean, but just a warning that a feature being "opt-out" means that it's *enabled* by default, and that you have to opt out of it to disable it. "Opt-in" means that it's *disabled* by default, and that you have to opt in to enable it. Yes, it's confusing. To avoid the confusion, saying that you want a feature "disabled by default" is clearer.

Hopefully Twitch still gets the message that we don't want A.I. garbage in any form. Whether it's ruining software or services that used to work or training on our work to impersonate us or being part of a massive surveillance dragnet, it needs to go in the bin and be incinerated.

Last thing we need is more AI slop.
Hard pass.

We don't need AI every 5 minutes JUST ******* STOP

This shouldn't even be a thing. Like sure having the ability to toggle it off or having it off by default is great, but we should NOT be feeding any kind of creative field - whether that be art, music, games, videos, etc - to AI! AI is literal slop and is killing our planet! A lot of the streamers I follow and myself included may even leave the Twitch platform entirely if this comes to light because of how uncomfortable it makes us and how it makes what we create not ours anymore.

Read the ******* room, guys. Do you see a SINGLE person here who actually wants this ********? NOBODY likes AI, let alone forced AI scraping that you can't even opt out of.

AI only hurts creators and dumbs down the rest of us. Somebody read Dune for christ sake.

whoever the **** decided to push this ******* ai training **** should just straight up kill themselves cmon lets be ******* real here. what a worthless ******* decision you dont make enough money? ******* amazon and ******* twitch dont make enough money you have to strip even more from people? Get ******* real. What a disgusting ******* idea.

AI isn't the future that you think it is. Twitch would be seriously endangering its users AND creators by enabling AI at all. It's not fair to force, so at LEAST make it optional, along with a feature that alerts content creators if it's on.

We must be allowed to fully and completely opt out of any and All AI features!!!
