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.

Are you absolute buffoons serious? Quietly rolling this garbage out and making it automatically opt into it, despite knowing FULL WELL that everyone hates it?

So beyond shady to roll this out without a real announcement. Generative AI has no place in our world, especially in the creative space. I will be looking to move my financial gains from Twitch elsewhere unless and until this changes.

Privacy is a myth. Consent is a myth. The fact Twitch says "we respect your privacy" on the Privacy page is a ******* insult as they clearly do not respect us at all.

Don't make them optional. Remove them altogether.

Ai is awful, you're only poisoning your own platform

Hi! Great to see that you rolled this out quietly and opted everyone in by default! The people behind this decision are actual garbage humans. Get in the bin.

The whole point of streaming is the human experience, regardless of how stupid it can be. Training AI models to replace human streamers or do worse with is absolutely unacceptable.

Get rid of this ****!! GenAI is theft and by forcing this on us all, you are telling your content creators that you don’t need nor want them
You are NOTHING without us on this platform and if you continue with this, you will have no one

Twitch, you paid for an AI feature that the overwhelming majority of your userbase was not supportive of, and you are *going* to lose money just like the statistic predicted. You fell for a tech scam like NFTs and you're banking on making that money back by selling your users' data back to the AI because you have a monopoly on the streaming platform market and you can get away with it.
Your userbase is WHY you have a market monopoly. Don't forget that we all watched Twitter go down in real time, Twitch is not immortal.

No opt-out means I won't be streaming or viewing Twitch at all.

STOP FORCING GENAI DOWN OUR THROATS. preferably don’t use it at all, but automatically opting us into having our content stolen is absolutely scummy behavior. THOUSANDS OF YOUR USERS TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT. GENAI IS NOT POPULAR. IT WILL FAIL. YOU ARE WASTING MONEY AND RESOURCES ON IT. IT IS BAD FOR YOUR COMMUNITY AND BAD FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

And they completely ignored almost 13k (at the time of those post) people voting against it, made it opt in, and stealth rolled it out with an opt out system that has loop holes.
Calling it 'slight internal friction'.

All of these features should be opt in by default and all AI features should be opt out-able. I don't think it's fair that myself, fellow streamers, and chatters will now be subjected to AI training without our consent.
Please reverse course and amend the policy to allow us to opt out of all AI related training.
