Why would I want to train a potential replacement off of my hard work!! Not to mention that it sucks energy/water and resources that we could to make the world sustainable for longer!

I would advise everyone to look into privacy laws of your respective country. I know that in several European countries, taking pictures/video/voice recordings of someone without their express consent is prohibited by law. Reach out to consumer protection and labour union organizations if you can.
Considering that Twitch has NOT asked for our consent for this, and has not even given us a heads-up let alone a notice of this function being rolled out, and opted EVERYONE in by default, they are possibly in violation of the privacy laws of several countries.

OPT OUT BY DEFAULT, PLEASE. there's a LARGE amount of people who want nothing to do with training AI.

so we're just at the point where public comment is only put up to say "we asked the community" and then you go and do it anyway huh

i am never spending another dime on this stupid website

**** AI

I'm not really surprised Twitch is being actively hostile to it userbase.

AI uses up real world resources, such as drinking water and clean air, and also sets up unrealistic expectations, such as inflated viewer count. AI is “easy” to create content from other content creators, which is absolutely unfair to them and us. We do NOT need to go through the gen AI route. We are already struggling with MANY real life issues, we are struggling with having an online presence because of AI. If content creators, the SOLE reason why twitch is a great community, can easily be taken over by AI, whats the point of content creators then?

Having AI options be off/opted out by default is the bare minimum. Ideally, there would be no AI on a platform that is entirely successful because of its creators and community. Nobody is asking for this.

Opt out by default! This sucks!

13k people told you to not to and this is how you treated them? I think it might be time for a creator strike, frankly.

Why are you so determined to burn bridges? Opt out by default shouldn't be something we need to TELL you to do, it should be an easy standard to meet, yet here we are, having to tell you to do the obvious.

This is the genuine deal-breaker for me with Twitch. Opt out by default or get rid of it entirely. Otherwise, I'm taking my streams elsewhere. Twitch isn't the only option for streaming. Never has been.

How about you quit killing our planet with content theft, resource wasting, and price gouging and start working on some actual features we need for quality of life. Take out the A.I. and add a feature to let Turbo content creators permanently disable stream ads. You'd make more money on that than murdering the planet for stolen content.

Stop plagiarizing our content by default

Do they really think that training AI without warning or consent is fine? Do they know what it feels to be a small creator or common viewer? Do they still remember when they were human and not business people?

They have decided to make it opt in by default. The most voted feature in the history of twitch, and they decided to ignore it. This is disgusting. They didn't listen to their creators. They won't even give a dime to anyone who they scrape from. I won't be paying a cent to Amazon ever again.

Stop stealing our work!!!!!! Are you trying to kill your platform?!

Let's be real, this "feature" is not FOR creators. Better that it didn't exist, but if you must have it, then it should be off by default.

This is beyond invasive and disgusting, not to mention completely tone deaf to the entire essence of creation and individuality that Twitch supposedly creates. Please stop trying to force this slop machine down our throats, and stop pushing it to quite literally steal our unique voices WITHOUT CONSENT.

This is actually disgusting and I'm ashamed to even be a longtime user of twitch, get this **** off the platform and actually make it the platform what it was meant to be. If the people from JustinTv days saw the s*** you throw out, they would be embarrassed and shame the platform that you've abused that they created. Get your act together and stop adding thing that are clearly not even remotely helpful or needed.
