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.

so Twitch/Amazon didn't listen when we said the default setting for their AI training should have been "Opt Out". now they are trying to team up with another AI to generate more slop that no one asked for. and how are they paying for this? the data centers required for AI aren't cheap. I not only foresee Twitch/Amazon ignoring this petition, but also raising the cost of subscriptions to cover this expensive mistake. Twitch/Amazon, surprise us this time and listen: Do Not Team Up With OpenAI To Generate More AI Slop, Cancel The Hackathon Event.

Twitch was built on the foundation of Justin.tv, showcasing the real-life human experience of Justin Kan. From that simplistic beginning, Twitch has since become one of the top hosts for livestreams of actual humans doing and demonstrating human-made content and creativity. That something so anti-human as Generative AI is being showcased by this platform is an irony too great to truly express.

Just don't. There's no way you're spending the 30-50% cut of the money on the platform for this. We don't want this, we don't want anything that comes from this, it makes your platform worth less to us. Just don't.

Ai integration in twitch has disgusted me, and it needs to be removed before all of twitch's userbase leaves it for something better.

Generative AI is what is destroying everything. It is eating power, water and resources that cost lives.
About gen-ai itself? -> Enjoy learning about it more in the video link.

If twitch keeps up with the gen-ai threats , then twitch will end it's own existance. No one will care either. I've lived longer without twitch than with it... I can do without -

Generative AI is just going to drive more people away from the platform. Personally, I lived for decades without Twitch and without AI, and I won't miss either.

We don't want AI as part of this platform. You're pushing your customers and viewers further and further away from us actually wanting to use this platform.

We’ve already got so much AI nonsense shoved into literally everything. Can we leave it out of Twitch?
You said yourselves no one would opt in unless you made them. Perhaps you may want to consider why this is?
If it’s Amazon force-feeding it to you, at the very least have it opt-in only.

Twitch's recent pushing of generative AI is deplorable. Generative AI is awful morally with the theft of art to train the models, AI psychosis, and the environmental impacts of its usage. Twitch needs to get its act together and stop with the generative AI stuff now, no one wants it.

This platform should be and is for Humans and not machines!
GenAI is insult to Human art and creativity. And AI Slop is even greater insult to our Human creativity.
I don't give my consent to AI companies and Social Media platforms to train AI models based on my content, chat messages and any other data metrics that Big Tech wants to collect to train their models.
Dear Twitch Staff, Please cancel and stop with this AI non-sense.

First you make AI scraping opt-out now this. Just admit your goal is to steal from us in an attempt to replace us with AI because it won't push back against your selfish capitalist actions. You don't care about people, creativity, community, or literally anything that makes the platform ACTUALLY successful and attractive to the people who actually use it daily.
Your own official channel is opted out of AI and you guys ADMITTED it's "opt out because no one would opt in." You KNOW nobody wants this except your wallets. Not even you guys want this for yourselves, it's a scam you're selling to millions that you selectively interact with for your benefit. You're SO out of touch and literally do not care. Cancel this. Officially never going to an event unless you start taking an active Anti-AI stance. Already encourage my community to donate directly to streamers instead of subs and bits since the money goes to supporting blatant plagiarism. We need AI regulation laws like... Forever ago. This is insanity.
