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.

If any AI feature or training is implemented with no ability to simply and easily opt-out of it I will discontinue my use of twitch as a streamer and as a viewer. AI is antithetical to creativity in any form. This is non-negotiable.

Forcing AI onto people is the easiest way to kill the platform

Generative AI is a tool built upon stolen art and voices — the very essences of what make up creator spaces. To integrate it into our streams — either visible or secretly in the backend — is a major breach of consent. Myself, along will all of my fellow streamer colleagues, will have zero issue in taking our collective communities, viewers, ad views, and paid subscriptions to another platform.
Perhaps spend less investment trying to tell creators what ‘you’ think will be a major boon to us, and more time investing into what creators continuously voice as a necessity.

L'IA est en train de détruire notre planète, donc non je je suis pas du tout d'accord avec ce que Twitch veux faire

twitch is a platform whose entire business model is powered by creative individuals who, in a vast majority, disagree fundamentally with the unchecked use of generative AI and its reliance on the work of creatives, often via methods that are morally dubious at best and flagrantly illegal at worst, especially as a means to undercut the labour of these creatives.
Further, the majority public opinion of generative AI content is predominantly negative, and whatever short-term gains Twitch believes this plan will confer will almost certainly result in long-term net loss in both the brand's image in the eyes of its consumer base, and in the loss of the very creators this plan will unfairly exploit the creative labour of. -

I am not interested in generative AI, let alone my streams being used to train said harmful AI. Making this mandatory infringes on creators' rights, especially if there's no opt-out feature (or one that's difficult to find). There is so much global pushback by creators and ordinary working people against generative AI, why does it feel like every company is pushing it anyways?

I do not want AI as part of my stream. Please make this optional for those of us who are against AI or who just dont like AI.

I'm not interested in AI. If this feature is added, make it optional - preferably opt-in.

I do not want to use AI, I don't want to see AI, I want the creators i watch to have control over the content that they make.

I absolutely hate that this is being forced on us. There 100% should be an opt out of *ALL* AI features. I've had over 6 years streaming on this platform but I can swap to YouTube and start again if needed.

There should be absolutely no AI on Twitch. Period.

The continuous global push back against the slop that is AI should have told you by now that this is the least wanted idea of modern times.

i can't wait to immediately stop using twitch entirely and urge everyone around me to if this is implemented with NO opt out. it's an infringement on creator's rights to their likeness, voice and so much more.

Adding AI features like this to Twitch is disgusting. I've supported dozens of streamers through subs and bits for over ten years, but I promise Twitch that I will delete my account on the spot and never look back if they introduce this ********. Not only that, I will spend the rest of my online life spreading the BAD word about how Twitch RUINED itself making one of the worst decisions in internet history.

If I cannot opt out I will heavily considering abandoning this website altogether. You will essentially let YouTube Streaming win.

I've been looking at self hosting streams and finding smaller platforms. I'm glad I have alternatives to Twitch in some regard, because I will not stay if content is used in this way without an opt-out option.

I've been streaming for almost 10 years now and I would stop immediately and find alternatives if gen AI features are implemented with no way to opt out
