hey real quick, the overwhelming majority of creators don't like or use ai for anything at all (minus some exceptions like neuro), how does the 'amazon ai training' bring any benefit to them whatsoever?

Putting all channels through the gen-AI scraper by default sends a direct message that you intend to parasitize the userbase that makes all your money to the fullest, most predatory extent. We've made it abundantly clear that an overwhelming mass of users DO NOT WANT THIS, and yet you automatically opt all channels into the scraper in OVERT defiance to our most basic insistence.

This implementation is INSULTING, it is MALEVOLENT, and it WILL drive the lifeblood of this platform from a service that openly broadcasts its owners' intent to cannibalize and replace us with mindless programs that won't tell them "no."

This is an absolutely insane decision. I generally support AI, but youre nuts, youre going to kill your platform.

I love how this is called "uservoice" and it's just exists to be ignored. All this is a statement in itself.

Having my content fed to AI makes it very unlikely for me to ever start streaming here

Or better yet, don't add these stupid AI features to begin with.
We all know the reason it is implemented as an opt-out feature instead of opt-in is because you know NO ONE actually wants it.

P.S.: You're all using opt-out wrong, that is the current way it works.

Using creators content to train AI/Gen AI is tone deaf. There was no possible way this was discussed in a board room filled with people that believed that a negative response to this was not going to happen. Many of us spent years as creators growing our audiences, crafting our experiences, and networking and for sure would not like all of our work to be taken away via gen AI. That goes for our likenesses as well

I warned you, cancelled every single subscription I have on this platform. I will be moving my streams elsewhere, absolutely disgusting. You literally had almost 10K people in here telling you that NOBODY wanted this and you STILL went through with it. Not only that, making it on by default with no actually announcement? You're disgusting Twitch. ******** Twitch, ******** with your GenAI theft. Congrats on killing your platform you idiots.

If you value people's access to jobs and the health if the planet you live on you will remove all AI.

This should be opt-OUT as default, and let people who actually 'like' genAI opt in. Disgusting, Twitch should have known better. IDC if their Amazon overloard forced their hand or if they genuinely thought this was a good idea, no streamer worth their salt would actually approve of this, and streamers make this platform, not investors or advertisers.

I hate generative AI, I stream to make my own form of content that is unique to me. To share in entertainment is very human, let's keep it that. If people want to use AI, that's their choice, but the default should be that people should be opted out of all new features let alone AI specific features

I have not put time and effort in to my channel & invested money in to gear and art to have it stolen & replicated. Doing this by default is disgusting. Anything AI should only ever be opt-in with explicit notice.

ai is absolute bollocks, stop trying to replace the very creators on your creator platform

No one should be doing anything with my content that i am not aware of. If someone wants to do something with it they need to ask and i have a right to deny their request. Why should this be any different?

Especially as an animation and art based streamer, this is extremely disappointing, it is unnecessary to forced on to the group of creatives that make twitch what it is, and it absolutely should not be an automatic opt-in at the very least.

Please, creators are most firmly against AI-training, opt-out is insane for a website that strives for creativity!

Very underhanded to have this feature turned on by default. I feel younger generations - especially tech savvy gamers and artists, who are your primary audience on Twitch - have been VERY clear that generative AI is not something we are okay with. Please do not allow AI to steal from your streamers to build its platform. Please find more productive ways to use AI that do not involve generating content that is not human-created.

Since the default option is Opt-In, I assume that means we're getting a cut of all the money Amazon makes off AI, right? RIGHT?! Oh, we're not? Because we're JUST creative people and we're not as important as tech people and therefore tech people can just steal whatever they want from us and dribble a little ad revenue our way because that should be good enough... it's just art, after all... /s

Stealing a streamer's content and likeness is disgusting, period. ESPECIALLY in the current state of the world. This decision is tone deaf, good job Twitch.

How many people yelling "No!" at you is it gonna take for you silicon valley losers to realize that the vast majority of people do not want AI garbage being shoved into every facet of every piece of tech that is currently out there?

You have had a massive outcry of creators telling you that nobody wants to be used for training GenAI, and yet you still went ahead and added it to the platform and made it opt-out so hopefully people wouldn't notice.

You are disgusting Twitch, your days are numbered and I personally will be moving to Joystick very soon.
