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.

We keep telling you. And telling you. And telling you. This **** is destroying our planet, killing independent thought, and putting people out of work because nobody appreciates the craft of anything anymore. And you keep trying to squeeze it into every ***** you can find in the hopes that it's going to finally take.
We hate it, and frankly I hate Twitch for continuing to push this. There are other places to stream. You're far from the only game in town anymore and it's time you started acting like it.

No one wants Gen-AI, least of all in creative spaces. Stop shoving AI into every nook and cranny of every part of life, its not necessary and so very bad. You should feel bad. Cancel the **** event.

And this is why everyone is looking for Twitch alternatives.

We want human interaction. The biggest category on Twitch is Just Chatting, not AI slop. This platform deserves better than a huge disrespect to their viewers and content creators

This is gross. I and thousands of others will actively *avoid* using whatever vibecoded slop comes out of this, so why bother?

Cancel this nonsense, we didn't ask for this. We don't want this. And we will never want nor like this ever. The only ones who wanted this are the chuds at the top who are in love with Gen-ai. The regular person, streamer and viewer alike, DO NOT WANT THIS. Get this **** outta here

Twitch doing its best to remind you that it's a horrible company run by horrible ghouls masquerading as people with this slop nonsense. At time of writing Amazon has WASTED $344B, that's $344,000,000,000.00, on enslopification. That's not their spending, that's the cumulative loss; they've spent over $370B on this and only gotten 26 back. It's a failed technology. ZERO AI labs or tech companies have made anything even CLOSE to a profit on this mess, the only people making money here are the chip manufacturers who are overcharging to sell their entire stock to living proof that you don't have to be smart to be rich. Do NOT let them lie to you.

Even Konami doesn't want to mess with AI anymore. It is not a useful technology and alternatives to twitch are popping up because of stuff like this. Its only a matter of time before actually takes off if this continues.

Just like before, streamers DO NOT WANT AI NEAR THEIR CONTENT. It’s as simple as that. Please do not [continue] to ruin this platform that so many use to do what they love. It’s not hard to say no to AI.

By partnering and implementing AI that nobody wants you're sending a clear message that basically boils down to "we do not care about our users".
The second you stop respecting the customer, close your doors, or they'll close them for you.

There have been so many useful tools made by actual programmers over the years with the intent of making streaming easier, more fun, more interactive, and so on. By partnering with open AI twitch is sending a message that you do not care, while plagiarizing years of hard work by people who do.
Every step Twitch, Amazon, and other platforms takes into the AI sludge is a step further away from what the community wants. Listen to them. They are trying to save your company from yourselves.

This collaboration is a mockery of all hardworking programmers streaming under any tech categories, including Software & Game Development, and only further fuels the fire of AI slop.
You know it's bad when they ignored the 16K+ votes idea about making AI features optional & opt out by default, and went ahead with this kinda collab anyway. -

I am so tired of poorly vibecoded AI features that absolutely no one has asked for that I'm debating leaving the platform and just making my own website

The only good thing to come out of this is seeing so many people come together to voice their absolute disdain for such a useless publicity stunt. Whichever PR agent or marketing board member came up with this money-pit of an idea should be ashamed and embarrassed. Do yourselves, and all of us, a favor - change your f*cking minds.

There's not a single person who wants this among Twitch streamers. Nobody likes this and Twitch is embarassing itself with this nonsense
