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.

Could you please stop being so incredibly tone-deaf about this AI nonsense?
Noone wants this. Everyone sees it for what it is. It has no actual benefit for anyone involved, including the company, so -stop trying to push for this ****.-
Next time you think about doing this, just throw the servers in a dumpster fire, same effect. -

No Gen AI. STOP THE ROT. It doesn't need to be here. We streamers don't want it.

Ai should not be used period. Look at how it revealed exploits in PHP and caused waves of websites to shut down to patch out the exploits! I suggest Twitch turns back on this now before a lot of creators drop this platform

Stop trying to make AI on Twitch a thing, creators do not want it. This is how you ensure an alternative platform succeeds in pulling talent away.

The fact Twitch is partnering with AI again after all the outrage last time is truly disheartening; especially in the face of AI companies in general posting record losses for the year. It's paramount you do not go forward with this. There are alternative streaming sites out there gaining traction the more you use dying AI. It will kill Twitch streaming.

Generative AI has no place in the streaming space, nor should it ever. Seeing something like this come up is incredibly disappointing, to say the least. Having this kind of stuff shoved in our faces is extremely discouraging and should never be done in the first place.
Rather than looking towards AI, consider the people who pour hours upon hours into developing tools and other resources for Twitch. THAT is what truly matters. Not AI "created" tools. REAL tools, created by REAL people. Without them, Twitch would be nowhere close to where it is now. This event is extremely disappointing, and seeing Twitch support this is a major stain on the brand as a whole. -

There's no words that I can use to convey my immeasurable disappointment in this platform and Dan Clancy.

Nobody wants ai. Nobody needs ai. This is absolutely disgusting and should've been rejected at the idea level of the process.

Twitch, at some point, if you continue pushing stuff like AI down our throats, we, the creators, the audience, will leave to another, better and AI free alternative, and all you'll be left with will be AI bros, crypto bros and scammers.
You are actively destroying the creativity and the diversity of the people and communities you helped create. You will become an empty husk, a shadow of your former self if you continue down that path and if you keep ignoring the people that makes your platform attractive and wonderful. -

This is such an unbelievable slap in the face to developers like me who single-handedly make Twitch one of the most interactive and innovative spaces with ease-of-use tools that allows streamers to make anything their minds can think of, all while understanding how it all works. Why aren't we celebrating stream tool authors. Why isn't this an event using those tools to create something awesome. What are we doing here.

GenAI is built on the back of stolen work and environmental destruction. Twitch was meant to be a place where people build communities, not where we help destroy the world.

Considering how vocally against AI the Twitch community has been, this is just blatantly disrespectful. Couple that with the fact that OpenAI is in the middle of a massive scandal right now because of untracked funds, and because of their AI agents going out of programming, resulting in the massive PHP security breech, this is just in massive bad taste. Stop trying to cram AI into Twitch.

I have a better idea, give AI bros $25,000 to take a hike* and never be heard from ever again.
The last thing these talentless hack sociopaths need is a pedestal.
* putting it excessively mildly enough to not get censored in this comment box because Twitch staff are extremely fragile

How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man,AI companies are a big reason why most of us couldn't afford to upgrade our rigs, and stealing data to impersonate us. We creators do not want GenAI and I wish all AI data centers a very burn

Gen AI has no place on a platform for creatives. It's a garbage tool that wastes resources trained on stolen works of others.
Organizing this is just a mockery and spitting in the face of all the creative people on your platform making you all the money. -

There are already tons of extensions, apps, etc. that streamers regularly use to help make their streams great. We should be celebrating the developers and programmers who take the time and effort to learn and use the skills necessary to create these awesome tools. If you want to encourage people to make these things themselves, do that. Point people to resources that will teach them useful skills. Don't push more generative AI down our throats.

Gen Ai has no place on a platform that is supposed to stand for creatives. This event should be cancelled.
