Me when im totally not desperate to get a return on billions of dollars of failing investment for the "Machine That Makes Everyting Worse And Vast Majority Of My Userbase Doesn't Like"

The vast majority of people who use your service are against AI in any shape or form. I imagine most of the people attending Twitchcon are also against it, so I’d recommend saving yourselves any further embarrassment for such a terrible idea. It’s incredibly tone deaf and a slap in the face for the creatives who use your service.

So, after the backlash of the food category pic: "sausage carrot", you dare to try this :****: ?

Even without my distaste for AI in general, every single AI “feature” has only made things worse for both viewers and streamers. I don’t see that changing.

Generative AI will never have a place in creative spaces. We did not become creators just to have the slop machine shoved down our throats - it's a slap in the face to the very community that's keeping your platform alive. It's the effort, time, and products of HUMANITY that make streaming what it is. That has always been the case, and it always will be.

As usual, Twitch is desperate to make some kind of return from a failing and invasive technology that should have never been pulled out from its hyper-specific niche. Hopefully all of these constant and consistent failures will embarrass the higher ups fast enough before the entire GenAI economy collapses upon their heads. If they actually drop the event it would be a rare intelligent decision they would ever make.

Twitch, we are already tired of all of this AI Slop nonsense.

It hurts our artists, content creators, VTubers and streamers who work very hard to bring the best they have to the table, only to have AI users steal their content, plagiarise their works without have to left their fingers. It inspires and rewards laziness and half *** work, where all of the recognition should be going to those who threw in all the blood, sweat and tears to those willing to work hard for what their worth. The real artists.

We've been pushing back against all of this for a reason, we don't want GenAI on the Twitch platform. We don't want to be used as prey for predators, it's clearly unfair competition and it must be stopped!

Appalled at the lack of reading the room, Twitch. Generative AI is a disregulated mess and this collaboration spits in the face of everyones sweat and tears they put into streaming every day.

Pushing AI is an insult to all the creative people that make your platform thrive through their own creativity and hard work. Cancel this event.

Read the room, Twitch. It's abundantly clear that a large chunk, if not the majority of users on your platform do not want this.

this is absolutely a terrible idea, we don't need this, AI isn't useful in creative environments. People are what make twitch good. you've seen kwebbelkopp's numbers, you know it's true.

a little odd to be calling this a "hackathon" after the whole thing that happened recently but sure, i guess.

get rid of this, twitch. none of us want it.

nobody wants this AI slop

Ah yes. A competition where we all watch people say their coding as they sit back and watch a program do it for them... They aren't even coding at that point and the codes they build probably won't be stable and can't even be credited as original ideas.

Amazon wants this but we do not. Get the slop out of and off the platform. It's theft of labour on a scale never before seen and turns your brains to mush incapable of cognition.

Cant believe how tone deaf the people running this s**t show are. Real creators and their communities have expressed time and again that Generative AI features have no place on a platform that relies on creativity, artistry, and real people making real content. shove off with your AI garbage.

Why can't you guys get the hint? Nobody wants generative AI. Everyone hates it. Stunts like these don't make us suddenly want it. If anything, I stopped using Twitch because of AI ****.

Seeing a company start to shoot itself in the foot repeatedly,going against their own userbase and creators is honestly baffling.

Nobody in their right mind likes AI. It's a waste of resources and a waste of money. We don't want the soulless plagiarism machine training off our effort. We don't want to be exploited for the profits of grifters. The only people who think this is a good idea are those trying to get rich off the scam.

We don’t want GenAI. Tell your bosses each time they tell you to implement it that we are going to respond to this behavior this way. Show them that the shareholders can complain all they like, but we do not want it. Considering they are funding something that has been proven to be depriving the planet of precious resources, you would think they would realize this is the only planet we can even live on. They want to ruin it and take all of us down with it. No.
