As a user of Twitch, I do not consent to my data being used to train an AI model that is utilizing resources at a higher rate, propagating centers that is lowering the quality of surrounding communities, and utilizing money to push a product that has clear detriment.

AI is a terrible decision that no creator wants forced into their stuff.
This will absolutely push countless fantastic creators to leave the platform.

If Twitch forces streamers to feed into their AI, I will seriously consider leaving Twitch. Their policies currently state they have the rights to our image, and to my knowledge it is currently there to legally allow them to post our image and clips on their socials to help publicise us... but it also provides a legal loophole that COULD allow them to make AI content of our image and that makes me DEEPLY uncomfortable!

No one wants this. From streamers who have just started out to streamers who have been doing this for a decade. No one wants their work to be used to help any form of generative AI, and the fact that Twitch even thought about this as something to do is a massive shame. I do not consent to it at all. Past or future streams from me will absolutely not be used to train your AI models.

If Twitch starts training AI off livestreams I strongly suspect most of the creators I watch will leave the platform and I will likely follow. At the very least, if I ever end up deciding to stream, I'll be doing it on a platform that respects me as a creator instead of a data point.

I do not consent for my account to be used to train ai in any way, shape, or form. I enjoy streaming on Twitch but I will completely stop and find other avenues to do so if this becomes reality and tell my community to do the same.

Streaming is something I want to eventually, consistently do. Allowing AI will harm so much of it, when streaming is all about connecting with live, real people. Stop taking the humanity out of what we have left, AI documentation should not be on the platform at all, and by default everyone should be opted out of it.

Art is the backbone of many Twitch streamers, rather VTuber or not. Many people rely on Twitch as a platform to create an income. As an artist stuck in a wheelchair who streams on Twitch, I am absolutely horrified to see Twitch and Amazon try to do this. MINIMUM we should be able to opt out, but I believe AI shouldn't be on the platform at all.

I’ve been streaming on Twitch for a while now and have enjoyed doing it. That said, I will absolutely cease streaming here AND cancel my subscriptions if this AI nonsense goes through. And judging by the replies, I’m not the only one.

Nobody likes it. Nobody WANTS it. Plus, it’s imploding as we speak. There is no way anyone with any semblance of a sound mind can watch this collapsing disaster of a product and think it’s still worth investing anything in. If you’re smart, you’ll drop it with all the fanfare it deserves (which is to say, none).

Your platform only exists and thrives because of the creators whose work you clearly intend to steal and further exploit. Keep that in mind if you don’t want a full-blown exodus on your hands.

****. Generative. AI

I do not consent to having my content used as training data. My whole channel revolves around human artists and human impact. If there's no way to opt out from this AI 'update', I will not return to this platform, and I will encourage my entire community to follow.

Generative AI has no place on Twitch and creators don't want their livelihoods used for your training data.

No point to this other than adding more garbage into the world. Allowing opt-out is the least you could do, but most of us would rather it just not happen entirely. I'll have no problem abandoning Twitch if AI is forced upon us.

Can companies stop ruining their products by jumping on a collapsing bandwagon? Don't put AI into Twitch, this is disrespectful to everyone who uses your platform, and no one wants it.

AI is absolutely NOT needed on this platform. Period. The amount of human artists already being hurt by AI are going to be further slapped in the face by this move. Huge way to lose your customers.

If you're going to waste your money and resources on a bubble about to pop you should at least give creators the option to not be dragged into it.

This is a greedy attempt to get more money out of the hands of hardworking streamers. We work hard for each viewer we have and still get the **** end of the stick. **** AI, and do something nice for us for a change.

We don't want your ai.

If you have any respect for all of the creators that use your platform, you will not force AI upon your userbase. Nobody wants this.

The overwhelming evidence on the dangerous and destructive nature of AI should be enough to convince anyone that AI is horrifying and terrible. But Amazon is not famously known for listening to it's users, unless listening would make them money. That's where you have to hit them. In the bank account, in the chokehold they have on everything.

My objections to AI are not only the theft, but also that it is soulless, destructive to the human spirit, the data centers destroy the environment, they harm and damage real human beings, depriving them of clean water, and an in trade, give them a tortuous amount of noise.
They believe that those of us who are against AI will quickly and easily be replaced by users who have no objections, and that enough exist that it mitigates risk.
I truly hope they very quickly get to the "find out" portion of FAaFO.
How many people even know that Twitch is owned by Amazon? I would say the large majority of the userbase, streamers *and* viewers, don't know. They're betting on that.
