Cancel the OpenAI x Twitch Twitchcon Hackathon Event
Hosting an event revolving around the use of Generative AI that will be featured at the largest Twitch related social event is a blatant disregard and disrespect to all of the home grown developers and programmers that work to make their streams great for their viewers. This needs to be cancelled. We're already vocally anti-AI, and this is yet another unwanted move against the community to try and further inject AI usage into a people focused platform. Get rid of it.

Every other point that has been made (the environmental effects, the plagiarism, the ethics), using AI just screams "we don't care enough to make a good product!". If you can't be bothered making something, why should I be bothered to interact with it? It's lazy and shows that you only care about getting things done fast and cheap, and have no respect for users and buyers.

I am so tired of this. Was the outrage against the AI nonsense you implemented against our will not enough? As someone else said, read the room! WE. DON'T. WANT. IT. It's a lazy, wasteful, hazardous plagiarism machine. Continue hitching your proverbial horse to it it'll take you down too when the bubble inevitably bursts. How very shortsighted of you.

Gen AI hurts all of us. It's killing the planet. Humans is what makes this platform work. GEN AI steals from all of us. We don't want this EVER.

Twitch is a platform filled with creatives, artists, developers and designers and this idea is an insult to them. Keep generative ai away from Twitch and let it be a place of inspiration.
Not to mention the environmental, ethical and cyber security concerns this of event raises. -

do not let openai steal even more copywrited content, especially not with your endorsement.

generative ai undermines creativity in all fashions. it is nothing more than an oroboros of slop constantly regurgitating and eating its own mess.

Not a good idea, i don't want my data sold off or leaked, or my likeness or voice being used to train AI!

Generative AI is a cheap plagarism system designed to make nothing but "content" for "consumption" instead of what Twitch is, which is a platform for creators to create. It loses revenue and loses users at a rate that would take a huge chunk out of Twitch, and even possibly put the platform on a downwards spiral to a scummy scammer network.
Say no to Generative AI! Say no to OpenAI!

Consistently we ask that you respect the fact that the website is held up by actual people creating for you, and constantly you ignore this to put more AI that we don't want in it.
AGAIN, we ask, do not put more AI. Stop leaning into a technology built on stolen assets and designed to take from people. Just. Stop.

Is Twitch for creators, or for people who make some machine create for them?
If your answer is "the former", then this genAI event is sending the wrong message.

I see how this might generate revenue, but it harms the community that Twitch is. Without the community there is no Twitch. Keep this space for humans; It will benefit everyone.

******* to GenAI.
That's an offense to all creators and work toward a more interesting and rewarding community.
GenAI is a blight upon our society.

Twitch Ambassador here. Just my two cents: generative AI is gross and certainly doesn't deserve this kind of showcase at Twitch Con. This event will alienate a huge number of streamers, and Twitch will have to do some serious damage control. Respectfully, please read the room.

Ai is not art. It’s a bastardization of other people’s hard work, shredding to bits, and then re-spliced together. There is no heart, message, or creative process. Nothing is being created. There is no original thought involved. Ai is lazy plagerism and to involve it with twitch is to align this company with cheaters and thieves. Twitch has been a creative haven for artists and other creatives and to invite Ai is to invite a mass exodus from its platform. I don’t come here for fakes and wannabes.

Generative AI in any form is disrespectful to the streamers who have spent countless hours making content for your platform, AND to the countless viewers who have proven time and time again that human-created content is what they want.
No AI on Twitch.

Y’all doubling down on the AI filth and the cuck-vibes - I’ll find another service to watch on. Agentic AI is harmful to all of us, most of all the people who have propelled your platform

As a streamer on Twitch, I do NOT want any gen-ai features on the platform.
