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.

Just remember: without the human creators on your platform, you would not be where you are today. Partnering with OpenAI means that you are willing to spit on your own audience. We are not expendable, we are not your product to sell to OpenAI; we are your lifeline.
Without us, you are nothing. AI is empty and is nothing without the people it steals from.
Shame on you if you go through with this. -

When AI takes over everything to get money, as its creators are working toward, how are we meant to pay -you- anything?
No one gives a **** about AI except sorry scammers and liars. I'm sorry to learn that includes you. -

For everyone who likes genAI there are at least 3 people who hate it. With these tools AI exists just to spy on us by taking our data and using it against us. No one wants it, get rid of it before you destroy your platform

Ai is a cancer to the world and shame on Amazon and twitch trying to force it down our throats. Shame on anyone using it and shame on everyone who thinks ai can replace human values with short term gain by using a POS form of technology I hope nothing but the worst for anyone who supports AI and can't wait to see how your life pans out because you had to blow AI like a ****** in an alley with zero shame

OpenAI will not make Twitch any money in the long run. It will simply lose faith from your userbase. Do not do this. It will financially ruin Twitch, guaranteed. You all saw how we reacted to the opt-out ******** and now you're pulling this?
I've been a Turbo subscriber for years, and I will unsubscribe without a second thought of ever resubscribing if this goes through.

this has been the biggest load of ******** that Twitch has done, probably EVER! How dare they expect us to just be okay with this.

Dude don't cut off your own nose to spite your face. Short term gains is nothing in the face of long term userbase loyalty. Do NOT give in to AI, you will not be left behind, you will HAVE YOUR USERBASE.

I used to want to put stuff on this site. Twitch, you are, day by day, giving me more reasons never to use you.

Amazon and Twitch will actively continue to lose revenue by embracing AI. More people will flock from Twitch to alternative streaming services, and less people will want to even think of attending conventions like Twitchcon. AI is a net loss on every possible factor of society and commerce as a whole.

Remember when y’all said we got opted in to this because we wouldn’t chose it otherwise? Let’s take several hints. WE. DO. NOT. WANT. AI. HOW. HARD. DO. WE. HAVE. TO. SPELL IT OUT. FOR. YOU.

Anyone else remember the classic "if it was opt-in, nobody would opt-in" quote? I remember. We don't want this.

Honestly this event just sounds like someone trying to rebrand the potential security risks that AI poses on a global scale to make it sound like "Oopsies! We need to update protocols again! Sowwy." Just no. Get rid of it. If you want to host a hacking celebration event, take AI out of it; if something was possible without AI before it went mainstream, it's possible to do it without now. It just requires having some actual creativity and goshdarned common sense.
