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.

Did you know that the AI in GenAI actually stands for Absolutely Insufferable?

Gen ai isn’t wanted anywhere near twitch or anything else that’s remotely creative

This isn't just tone deaf, it is testing the water to see what they can get away with. The community should come together and show how much its not only welcome, but how bad the current leadership at Twitch is.
Get rid of it, to make this a public event is just gross.

Genuinely how tone deaf is Twitch. Promoting the lack of creativity with use of AI for an event that requires such. Make it make sense?

AI maybe a support tool and it's good for most things EXCEPT ART! But who in there right mind would put AI on twitch? Twitch is a place for us gamers and artists,etc to just you know hangout and have fun! No AI Allowed!

AI is both anti-creator and anti-consumer. The more well-paying jobs are replaced by AI, the fewer consumers you will have in the economy. If you render all your consumers poor, who will be left to buy your products? AI harms creators AND consumers. It is a tech bro shell game with an entirely unsustainable end goal. Stop enabling it.

There is no reason for Twitch to have anything to do with AI. Twitch is a platform that champions real people, playing games made by real people. Having an OpenAI event is incredibly tone deaf.

Applauding developers who don't understand how their code works is not the standard Twitch should be setting. Usage of AI is currently a rampant crutch across fields, making people think they are doing more work than they actually are, and are unaware of the amount of clean up required to make their output actually usable in any state. Take for example the "print hello world" test. AI bloats the code, turning something that should be one line (maybe two if you are commenting), into 30+ lines of code, with unnecessary additions everywhere. With this collaboration, you will be applauding high levels of incompetence and conflating the output as decent or usable code. Is that the type of competition you want your name attached with?

Why does the Twitch CEO need AI? Genuine question. What benefits does he gain? He *knows* Twitch users don't want AI. So why does HE want it? It has absolutely no benefits for a platform like this, and people have pushed back several times in other ways to protest AI. Just stop. Stop forcing it, stop encouraging, stop *thinking* about it. AI is not needed or wanted.

Why does every single thing we use now have to involve AI? We were absolutely fine without it a year or two ago.

I can say that clearly you people did not read the room when the vast majority of creators and viewers are staunchly against AI. Especially with AI being forced down our throats like this. You already knew putting AI into the platform would be bad and hugely unpopular when you made it so everyone had to opt out of training instead of opting in. Because in your own words "If it was opt in instead of opt out then no one would opt in" Which is pretty good evidence that no one wants anything from the theft machine that is being called "AI" The event should be canceled if you dont want to bleed creators.

This AI event is highly out of touch and a huge slap in the face to the vast amount of very talented artists on the platform

As someone who is interested in streaming myself, decisions like this make Twitch an unappealing and untrustworthy platform.

I honestly cannot believe how dense these corpos are. We do NOT want AI. We do NOT want to be replaced. We do want you to LISTEN and ACKNOWLEDGE us. This will only hurt you in the long run, revealing how much you do not listen in favor of fueling your insane egomaniac problem. This will not only drive away your current streamers, but also scare away anyone interested in streaming (myself being one of them). Like at this point just tell us what it will take for you lot to listen to people who actually use the **** service instead of whole-hogging the attention of your out-of-touch investors.

You tone deaf mother ******* don't take a hint. We do *not* want AI while you're all "vibe coding" your next great innovation.
