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.

You have not listened to a single request from so many people who use your platform on not using AI or partaking it in any fashion, and I highly doubt you're listening here, but this is a step even further than the last time and it's starting to become really concerning for me wanting to be on your platform. You have millions of users who are vehemently against AI, including likely over half of your partnered streamers (or more) and you're still doing nothing to stop all this slop stuff from infesting the platform. I have almost no confidence you'll actually listen, but seriously. If there's any time to listen to your community that none of us want AI Slop on your platform. It's now.
Either way this will not end well. None of these slop creators will contribute anything to this platform, and you'll be stuck with more moderation work from people joining these streams just to harass these "creators", so you're just in a lose/lose situation. Take the easy way out.

Forcing Gen-AI upon not just viewers, but CREATORS time and time again is quite frankly the worst #@$%ing marketing ploy I have seen in my life. Couldn't have picked a worse market to try to sell the "Content theft machine" too if I tried. "Hey guys, wanna be replaced?" is the only message this sends, doesn't matter how you try to frame it so why even do this event?

when will you listen to the creators who built your community and understand that we want nothing to do with the AI you insist on forcing into everything?

Any and all attempt to integrate this form of AI into twitch deserves to be met with violent rejection, as it fundamentally spits in the face of the people who are on twitch in the first place, and the people who make it function.

How many times do we have to say we don't want AI on or involved with Twitch. Humans are what make livestreaming a special experience.

Please leave content creation in the hands of human creators. We do not want this. Please listen to your users and creators. This is not the way forward we want.

Go tell whatever Amazon exec suggested this they have really bad ideas. And cancel the event. This is incredibly distasteful.

Thousands of game developers have been laid off due to AI. Read the room.

I want to protest at this point. I am tempted to start doing 5-15 minute streams, with nothing, but a text on screen. "Day X of going live just to protest against GenAI usage on Twitch". Maybe do it twice a day, so more people have the chance to lurk. I can't afford to run it 24/7 unfortunately.
I am not sure if any of it would be violating the rules on Twitch, but we need to start protesting. Boycotting them. I was thinking of removing Affiliate status from my channel, just so people couldn't subscribe and cheer in my channel to no longer feed this disgusting, big corporation.
The 50/50 cut on subscriptions for small streamers makes no sense and is genuinely gross. Start donating to your streamers, instead of subscribing.If anyone would be more informed and/or interested in doing a silent, online protest against GenAI on Twitch, feel more than welcome to DM me on Twitch or Discord (same username as on Twitch).
I'm tired of letting them do as they please. -

This number is going to be lower than it should be because a good chunk of indie folks have literally stepped away. There are other streaming options that take less out of your tip jar than Twitch and don't treat you abusively. I know no one who reads this is in control, so thanks for doing your job and stay strong AI will eventually burn its self out we're going to win

Frankly, this is a horrible business decision on so many fronts, even just looking past your user base not wanting anything to do with AI

I do not like the thought of being a guinea pig for your AI training models. I do not like the thought of having to view AI videos instead of authentic streamers who do a great job with their personality and bring joy to their communities with their own wholesome selves.
Please get rid of the AI garbage.

Think of all the Artists on your platform. A lot of them do not want Generative-AI being trained on their art. Whatever you are planning with OpenaII, stop iit as you might loose a bunch of Artists on your platform.

How much pushback do you need from basically every community on your platform, including partners and ambassadors before the message is heard? We. do. not. want. AI.
