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.

Why diminish the accomplishments of individual streamers like that? Just cancel the event, it's better for us that way.

So Twitch owners, i take it you want 90% of the userbase to drop the platform? Because hosting this OpenAI x Twitch ******** is how you get that to happen.

If I'm going to allow a company to have my information, I want to be able to have some level of trust in them. AI code decimates that trust.
I do not want to run a website all day on my device when there are likely security vulnerabilities built into it. I do not want to run a bloated, glorified memory leak.
I do not want to watch Twitch tank in the future from some lawsuit over the horizon that I believe this kind of decision will likely cause for the lack of gain it's going to make in the short, or even long term. Even trying to play devil's advocate to AI, I only see downsides. AI usage on twitch has ALREADY begun the workings of one class action lawsuit, to my knowledge.
I like this platform, I don't wanna see it die. And AI would be a threat to its longevity in an industry that's actually competitive and not monopolized. Assuming another company pops up tomorrow that utilizes AI, what reason would people have to stick with twitch besides brand recognition that's slowly eroding with each upper management decision?
I'm tired of seeing badly thought out leaps of faith from this platform that seem arbitrary and not deliberated. Yes, you can play russian roulette. Yes, you can pull that trigger and you might be fine, or you might not be. But there's no actual prize money you're playing for. So why bother with the gamble? Stick with what's certain. Owning this platform and this name, the twitch brand, is a pass for free revenue if run right, and these choices jeopardize that each time.

Twitch had to more or less force the userbase into AI by turning it on by default instead of it being opt in, because even back then no one wanted it, and now this? This is incredibly tone deaf, please cancel it.

It's already been said enough times that it shouldn't bear repeating, but no one wants this, everyone hates it, you yourselves have acknowledged that you know and understand this, and yet you are still attempting to do it. Please get a clue

Keep the AI out of our platform! It uses too much water, it poisons everything around it, and it steals our voices and ideas like some sort of monster that constantly feeds on everything! We don't want it, and we never needed it in the first place!

The community has been *very* vocal about how much they DO NOT want Ai slop on this platform, and yet you continue to not listen to that community.
You've said yourselves, "If AI was opt in, nobody would opt in!" You KNOW we do not want this.
Stop putting the interests of shareholders and advertisers over those of the very creators this platform is supposed to cater to -

Generative AI:
- Is bad for the environment
- Plagiarizes art and writing
- Steals jobs from human workers
- Gives unreliable responses aka it lies
- Creates soulless, ugly images as well as CSAM
- Poses threats to computer systems, as well as the safety and privacy of users
- Is hugely unpopular
- May cause me to leave Twitch -

Every move from twitch makes me consider never touching the platform again. This one is really pushing that needle further.

No one wants slop in anything, anything it makes is buggy as **** necessitating even more mind-numbing fixes, it doesn't even make money. Literally why.

Every time Twitch has forced AI onto its users there has been pushback. This time is no different. We don't want it, it is a net negative to anyone involved.
Tying your brand to AI is chaining yourself to a sinking ship.

Absolutely disgusted by this
No one in the community wants AI on our platform that we have called our home for years and even a decade
For you to shove this down our throats even more, it's getting tiresome, but we will always let our voices be heard. Stop this now with this event and remove the AI features from the platform, this is not what the community wants
