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.

Wow, just... I am shocked. Have they not seen what is going on in the world regarding AI? Are they blind to the truth of it all, and maybe not seen certain videos discussing the topics. I'm glad I ain't streaming these days but I certainly will not support Gen-AI regardless of the "benefits" they claim it to have.
Please Twitch, even though you probably don't care about us, please don't subject us to AI slop systems. -

No, just no. The fact that this is ON BY DEFAULT WITH NO WARNING baffles me. If Twitch is TRYING to ruin the platform they're doing a great job.

No thank you. I share many of the sentiments already expressed

What I don't like about the AI training being opt-out now is that if other creators are playing clips of my channel on their stream or showing my art and my emotes (through onscreen chat) on their streams that I can not opt-out of that being used for the generative AI training.
As a streamer and viewer I would like to see which streamer opted out to be able to know where I should not raid in case my clips are being shown on their stream and who not to chat in if they have an onscreen chat.
Maybe a banner like 18+ streams.But better it would be opt-in and not opt-out. It being enabled by default makes me feel less safe on this platform.

Although I may not stream, I do not support any AI in creative spaces at all. I mod for good friends who also do not support AI in creative spaces. Human made art is true art. Stealing a creators hard work is NOT okay in anyway shape or form. AI slop needs to stop.

As a streamer, I am FURIOUS that my channel was automatically opted in to helping Twitch make slop! We are creators and we do not want you attempting to replace our hard work and wonderful communities with generated garbage, *ESPECIALLY* when it's made by stealing our work!

I tried to open out but cannot find the toggle. AI can be a useful tool on so many levels. But generative AI is not. It is a waste of resources and does more harm than good.
Making the training of generative AI an automatic "opt in," not announcing it, and not making it easy to find is so beyond inappropriate, and a breech of trust.

Please put the new updates as default opt out instead of opting us in! We Can do it ourselfs!

absolutely one of the dumbest possible things you could do twitch. Massive privacy issues like this should ALWAYS be opt in and not opt out

Here's an idea, hire more people, and give them and the existing people better benefits. Can't afford more people because economy? Then here's a message to Jiff Bozos; spare a billion from your personal bank account so we don't have to keep being fed this ugly slop you're trying to push.

In the LEAST AI Learning should not be something people are already opted in to! This leaves creators unable to make the choice for themselves whether they want to be part of generative AI learning.
ALSO, you should get rid of your Generative AI nonsense. The contents that it is built off of is OBVIOUSLY unethically sourced, especially with all creators having been forced into their content being opted into it. This isn't okay. I am against the use of generative ai.

It is very tone-deaf to include this feature, and more so to have it enabled by default. Generative AI is theft, pure and simple. This was very shady behaviour and a lot of trust has been lost because of it.

so first the ui gets reworked and filled with stuff and no way to alter the size of it so that its getting more and more cramped and the automodbot getting worse and worse with its automodfunction and getting triggered by more and more nonoffensive/nonproblematic words, you get more and more often connection problems with either chat or the stream itself or both at ones while everything else runs fine and now you want to use what people make to train an ai while all the aistuff already is driving prices of hardware up, is getting fed to so many people that they are already puking from it and multiple scientists aleady warning about ai is at the edge of getting out of control if it is not already out of control, not to even speak about that just a single aicenter is using more power and producing through that poweruse more climate changing greenhouse gasses then some first world countrys in total produce.
have you really thought about it or did you ask an ai what you should do?
or did you think you could just sneak it in under the hood out of view from the twitch communitys?fix what is already there instead of adding more unwanted stuff.

You know good and well that if this very controversial feature was turned out by default and that if your userbase was notified of its addition, it wouldn't get much use. Twitch isn't the first platform to employ this deception, but doing so only hurts your reputation.

Having it turned on by default is so shady, Twitch and you KNOW it.

adding my voice here and yeah, just **** to the no especially since it's on by default and **** gen ai in general. very much adds nothing of value to the world

So "cool" that this just went live today with no notification at all, and automatically opted us in. What possible benefit is actively stealing from your own creators supposed to provide, Twitch? Because we know there's not going to be any even vague benefit for us, much less anything that could justify this. I don't want, and have literally never met anyone else who wanted an LLM to train off anything they created.
I IMMEDIATELY opted-out upon hearing it launched.

Creators should not be forced to use AI. That is not right and it takes away their right to choose
