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.

Can we also have that any channel that chooses to use AI features or broadcast AI content be required to tag it in their stream title, similar to what is done with sponsored streams or ads (i.e. #ads)? So that as a viewer we can determine if we are willing to support the channel or content creator that actively engages in AI slop.

This is sketchy and underhanded to put on by default. Many of us turn off or remove AI in all forms as much as humanly possible.

i don't understand why we're even training AI on streams, seems like corporations want to just incorporate it wherever they possibly can -- and it's disgusting. we're frying the earth, and for what? number go up? i hate how incorrigible people in favor of this are.

only thing that will stop this is if they see a difference in money.

It is considered a dark pattern in user design to make what is generally unwanted by the userbase as the default option.

The use of AI is stealing from content creators and as such is theft.
The audacity that the option is opt-out (so that many people won't realize that this option ia active or EVEN EXIST!) is autrocious!
Don't implement AI features on Twitch! -

What part of literally everyone everywhere saying "we don't want AI" makes these companies think they can change our minds by forcing it on us? Heinous loser behaviour on Bezos and co.'s part here.

Twitch is nothing without its streamers, and whoever keeps greenlighting genAI l really seems to be trying to kill your platform by ******* off as many of us as possible as fast as possible. *Especially* with making it on-by-default like we won't notice.

No one wants this.
Twitch is being rapey forcing this onto creators unknowingly AND unwillingly.
Twitch needs to watch the tea consent video. -

Quietly adding this and opting everyone in by default is diabolical. Do better Twitch

Implied consent is not consent. The lack of transparency, and the fact that this applies to your content if you so much as CHAT in another channel that has it unknowingly enabled should be completely dismantled. I cannot wait for this stupid bubble to burst, nobody wants AI.

We all know the only reason this was opt-out by default rather than opt-in is because only a tiny minority of users would actually want to enable this kind of feature.
Beyond that, Twitch thrives on human-created content and using it for training data designed to supplant those creators is a massive insult to everyone who streams on the platform, as well as the audience who watches them.

Having the AI features turned on by default is unacceptable and bad for business. No one wants this. A good way to show that you don't want real people staying here.

Hey Twitch, this was a really bad move. You are going to lose your creators by the thousands if you keep up this generative AI ****. Turning it opt-in by default is also a gross, sneaky move, and I know you did this hoping to catch as many creators as you can to train on with this. Absolutely abhorrent. I do not want ANY of my creative works or streams used to train AI data, and I will not be streaming again on your platform until this is gone/fully opt-out

This is nasty scummy stuff to force onto users. I genuinely don't know a single person I follow who wants this.

Putting the AI-Training option by default? Seriously guys? Don't expect everyone welcoming the AI training stuff with open arms.
I am totally against the usage of AI, and I'll never support this no matter what.
