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.

Do NOT do this. This is genuinely so stupid, I genuinely have no words for this at all

it's shouldn't just be optional & off by default, it should just NOT EXIST! Whoever sat there & was like "yeah, lets feed our creatives to the machine" is the biggest piece of garbage

None? Is none an option? I don't just want it to be auto-opt out, I'd love for it to not be a part of Amazon's increasingly bad business model and practices.
What is the argument for it? Anybody?

Twitch (and Amazon by extension,) you all should be well aware how terrible the market is turning for generative AI. So why in the **** are you still pushing forward and even now talking about using streamer's content for training with only a POTENTIAL for streamers to say no? What kind of ludicrous AI-Hallucinations are you on to think this is remotely a good idea when one of your largest faces is a VTUBER??? Do you guys WANT your platform to fall apart?
We can always move. We just need a good enough motive to do so, and so help me, if this move goes through it will absolutely be motive enough for you all to lose your money makers.
But sure, keep pushing the limits of the bubble like absolute idiots.

Just don't. Let creators create freely without being forced through the AI shredder. Cease the continued disrespect and disregard for creative human ingenuity.

100% agree. And now with word that all Twitch content is about to be used to train Amazon's LLM project, this is more impoortant than ever.
If I wanted any of my hand-made content and IP fed into some multi-billion-dollar parent company's AI LLM so their slopbot can regurgitate it for someone else while burning through umpteen kilowatt-hours of energy, I'd do it myself. But I don't. And most creators don't. And from an ethics standpoint, creators shouldn't!
I'm growing VERY tired of this platform becoming a Youtube and Instagram clone with every passing feature release. Not to mention that Twitch needs to improve features already present, rather than adding AI chat summaries new features no one asked for.

I will no longer stream on Twitch or watch content on Twitch if they move forward with the decision to train AI using livestreams with no option to opt-out.

NO one needs AI features; making them automatically enabled purely demonstrates amazon and Twitch's anti consumer practices. I will delete my twitch account and switch to other platforms should this be implemented, and will encourage my friends and family to do the same.

It is an abomination and a slight to the creative endeavor to use your streamers to train AI

I will literally quit this website if my content gets used to train anything without my consent.

AI has no business in a space for creators. Youtube streaming just got the biggest boost it'll ever get and Google didn't need to pay a dime for it.
I've been here since Justin.tv and if this AI slop goes live I won't be touching Twitch with a 10 foot barge pole.

If you add Ai to your platform so help me god I will delete my account and cancel all subscriptions so fast. No one asked for this. No one wants this. If you go through with this I hope a competitor pops up and you go bankrupt.

keep AI features away from the platform.
do not auto opt us in.
give us the option to opt-out and these features optional at all times if this goes through.
i do not consent to having any of my content used to train AI models of any kinda. -

I am a partner of over a decade. I streamed on twitch when it was still called Justin.tv.
If this is not 100% completely and totally opt out friendly, I will end my streaming career. I do not care, I will not participate in being the fuel for the corporate fascism machine.
Call my bluff, I ******* dare you capitalist pigs.

The idea to use streams for AI training data is a straight up terrible business decision, community decision, planet decision, etc. You are picking a losing battle, good luck morons.

A lot of people consider AI to be morally, economically or environmentally unethical, maybe even all of the above. To force streamers to weight their ethics over their finances is patently unfair. ALL AI features should be opt-out by default. No compromise.

This is something the average user does NOT want and is simply a waste of effort and benefits only corporate greed.
If this feature was added THE ONLY compromise would be keeping these features optional and opted out by default...
As a streamer I would have NO reservations leaving the the Twitch and going solely to competing platform to make content instead and I know I am not alone.
HOW THIS IS HANDLED HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ALIENATE A LARGE NUMBER OF USERS AND MAKE THEM LEAVE THE PLATFORM!

Streamers don't need AI features, nor do we want them. It does more harm than good and honestly it's more liable to make you hemorrhage streamers than help you reach some quarterly profit margin which is so short sighted that I could diagnose the board and the investors as legally blind as well as deaf if they are not hearing streamers saying 'we do not want this, nor will we ever want this'. But I know they will ignore these comments and just implement it anyways, because all that matters is the investors and that quarterly report, in which case...may karma finally come around to smack them in the face.
