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.

We must reign in the use of ai, it's not this magical cure-all money maker that the corporate world thinks it is. TikTok is a perfect example of ai gone horribly wrong. They use ai for everything imaginable, and now the app feels barely functional. It's drowning in ai slop advertisements, their moderation system is non-functional against actual threats and routinely blocks people from even engaging in normal everyday chat in people's streams. I'm not joking when I say I came across a video of someone engaged in sexual relations with a real animal and when I reported it, their ai moderation system responds that no violation was found.
Some live streams you can't even say hello or good morning in chat without getting filtered. Sadly, I'm not exaggerating, it's that bad.
Then I see the frequent videos from creators saying how they're getting threats from TikTok about "inauthentic content" with zero explanation about what they did was inauthentic, yet people are creating endless accounts with ai slop videos that almost immediately get thousands and even millions of followers, which I honestly don't even know how many of those are bots themselves.I love supporting creators on Twitch, I've made some great friends through streams on Twitch, I'm just genuinely worried this platform is headed to the same ai fueled void of slop that TikTok is. Don't be like TikTok. Please!

Training AI on streamer content is dubious at best, unethical, and possibly illegal in many jurisdictions. It's also pointless; what purpose or benefit could it possibly serve?
Shoving AI into things just because you can is not the way forwards and Twitch leadership really needs to start understanding that community focus is what will ultimately benefit Twitch, not endlessly copying monetisation from other platforms nor shoving "AI" into things for the benefit of jumping into a bubble.

This idea is stupid we don't need our every word to be used to train ai ai already has rotted the thinking of many and made it harder to use the internet we dont need this and i dont care if you make money from this because you dont need more mother fing money just let creators in peace without training the very thing that destroys our platnet

It would be better for Twitch to not add any A.I to the site at all. A.I goes against the very idea of people creating things themselves and A.I is horrible for the environment. But if A.I is going to be implemented in the end then please give people the option to opt out of it. Make it so that people are opt out as a default. People don't want A.I at all and they don't want to be unknowingly opt into any A.I options that come up. So please don't go through with A.I at all or make it so people are opt out of it as a default.

What's sad is that even if you opt-out of AI summary.. they are still using it. It's just a do nothing switch that manipulates you into not getting mad thinking your stuff is fine.. when it's not. The only real fix to all this is to leave Twitch.

I understand that shareholders have lost their minds, and are pushing this like it's solid gold. It's not. Everyone with half a brain left in their skull knows this is trash. We don't want it. We don't even want to pretend to want it.

I would urge you to reconsider using content creators streams to train AI. It is not only unethical but also harmful for the environment through the use of these mega data center structures that are making living in the same vicinity a nightmare for residents.

You wanna use us to train AI? Then pay us properly for our valuable data or prepared to get sued! If you can't afford that then don't use us to train your ****** AI

I see it as something incredibly unethical and that goes against the principle of creativity and expression that content creators base themselves on. I rather have Twitch NOT bring generative AI AT ALL into the platform.

trying to use AI, especially to steal from and outright kill the streamers (who are actually the only reason this site exists), is literally you cutting off all your limbs and selling them for short term profits. this will not under any circumstances work out to benefit the company, and you might as well just announce that you want a new or indie streaming site to take your position and all the profit you could make. if this rolls out i will probably cancel all my subscriptions on this site and start encouraging any streams i regularly watch to go to another streaming service. i have already boycotted Amazon as much as i can, i will gladly quit this site ive been faithfully using for probably over the last decade if you try to betray the only people who make this site function (the streamers). so please make your choice, do you keep taking my money or do you help me save some cash during a declining economy?

Creators put their own time, energy, and passions into drawing viewers to Twitch. Training AI on livestreams is the exploitation of all of that work. No one wants AI slop to replace engagement and connection with other real people. Keep it off of Twitch.

Stop making AI default opt-in! If you're desperate for AI features, send a note and show how to opt-in if people want it. But I can guarantee you the vast majority of creators on Twitch do NOT want gen AI freatures included.

Stop coercing users with such technologies without an option to escape them, no one wants to deal with their livelihoods and expression being datamined with AI. Twitch needs to halt the implementation or give an option to disable it (preferably by default)
