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.

I do not want any AI usage with my content. Please make it opt-out by default.

Get rid of the AI aspect altogether. Not needed, not helpful, actively harmful.

This is a TERRIBLE idea. Nobody asked for this, nobody wanted this, and you defaulted everyone to opt IN, which is icky to say the least. We are running out of water, data centers are disrupting and harming minority communities even more, and AI psychosis is on the rise. This is the WORST feature you could have implemented, then didn't tell anybody when it was rolling out, THEN made us all opted in by default. Thank goodness for REAL community telling their buddies to make sure we got all opted out, otherwise our likeness, branding, creativity, and everything that makes us special, would have been scraped for a f*cking unnecessary machine.

I'm not a fan of AI features, and it being forced out on you is completely rude and uncalled for. Plus, what possible application could we have with them on Twitch?
Remove them, please.

Hiding that your content will be opted in for use in AI training behind settings by default is design choice I heavily disagree with.

I hate this so much. Twitch, until you make it off by default, I'm done with you.

Having this be a feature that is on be default is despicable! I also feel like this has a strong possibility of turn people away from the platform both creators and viewers!!

AI is used as a plagiarism machine. It offers no innovation and harms the planet. **** AI. Terrible idea.

I would also like to mention that taking someone's content without their knowledge let alone consent is THEFT, and taking someone's VOICE and FACE without their knowledge or consent is a violation of PRIVACY LAWS in several countries. Opting everyone in without as much of a SHRED of information to the affected people whose FACES AND VOICES YOU ARE TAKING will be a FEAST for privacy lawyers.
Tread carefully, Twitch, you're walking on thin legal ice if you don't send out a notification about this, and quickly. -

AI is ,at its core, theft and watching so many companies force it on their creators at all is awful but then to double down and do so without safety measures or allowing them to opt out is so disheartening.

Making it opt in by default is beyond shady. It should be Opt Out by default, if people want to opt in, they can do that themselves, don't force AI onto us, especially in such a sneaky, shady way.

I think it's absolutely vile to opt-in everyone to the new Generative AI feature by default. This makes it so everyone who isn't tracking social media news is unwillingly contributing to something they have no idea about. This sucks. Generative AI sucks. Stop injecting it into everything, and start working on actual improvements for your consumers and content creators instead. **** AI.

Should not be automatically opted in to this! On top of that this shouldn’t exist, having my content effectively stolen to train AI leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

I cannot emphasize how detrimental this is to streamers. No one wanted this feature and yet not only was it implemented, but we were all opted in by default. Generative AI is a blight on society and no one's channels should ever be used to train it, ESPECIALLY without their knowledge or consent.

Creators should NOT EVER have to worry about their content being stolen for AI by the very platform they are using to share it.

Shameful nonsense. That nearly 13k people said **** no to this and yet you did it anyway is honestly not shocking in the least. I look forward to this costing you even more, we all know Twitch is barely treading water as it is.
