y'all really, genuinely hate your user base, don't you? this is class warfare and you're making it very clear what side you're on. every single person who built your now-dying platform through community and accessibility is sick of the abuse. we're sick of having you shove this down our throats because a bunch of megalomaniacal billionaires deluded themselves too expensively. ********* and ********. death to genAI and the billionaire class

I'm running out of patience. I know plenty of people who would leave the platform over this and even I would consider it. I'm here to interact with people, not get AI shoved down my throat again and again.

How many times do we have to say "**** AI" before they get the message? Hearing no and continuing to do it like they say something, then dance around with their fingers in their ear to 'not hear' what others say is SO a childish behavior response.

Does Twitch not know that we'll eventually just move to another platform if they keep pushing this ****?

This is such a bad idea, and I think if this actually happens, a lot more people will want to move away from Twitch

Have y'all REALLY not got the message by now that creators and communities do not want AI or are you just stupid?

Don't want it, don't need it, would rather it just didn't exist at all, and my opinion will never change.

I can’t believe yall are making me do this on my birthday. 😒

How many times do we have to tell you we don’t want genAI in our spaces??? Only so many times before we boycott the platform entirely.

GenAI sucks, it sucks ressources dry, we don't want it. Please reconsider this event and future ones.

In case you haven't been keeping track, you tried to make a Gen AI training feature AND made it automatically opted in. You saw the pushback from that and assume that this is going to go any better?

For the love of all that is good and holy, WE DON'T WANT AI HERE!!

AI kills creativity and all of this is to just further shoehorn AI into places where it isn't wanted.

We simply hate AI in creative spaces as it by default lacks all creativity and is devoid of any heart or soul. As well as is a regurgitation of stolen ideas.

Have none of ya'll learned a thing? So much for feeling like were being listened too and heard. AI should not be welcomed or encouraged on a platform mean't for content creation and sharing out individuality and passion!

We hated being DEFAULTED IN on an AI Gen thing without any real say outside of "Oh we read and understand your frustration".

DO BETTER, SHOW US YOU ACTUALLY CARE AND CHANGE COURSE.

When the default opted-in AI thing was shoved down everyone's throats, that was bad enough.

This though, is just beyond disappointing. You can do so much better, twitch, why are you jumping on a bandwagon left loose to roll down the mountain?

Literally everyone I've talked to does not want AI usage anywhere around Twitch. There are other platforms that people are moving to and that WILL continue until Twitch no longer has a user base if you keep shoving AI in our faces.

Do better Twitch.

I feel like a broken record at this point but Twitch is moving in the absolute wrong direction when it comes to AI. Most creators reject its use, and concerns about theft, misrepresentation and abuse are going unheard. Game devs are worried that their works will be stolen and imitated poorly. We have to double check whether animal videos are real or AI hallucinated. This is where we're at. It's time to pull the brake lever and stop this before it gets worse.

AI slop does not belong in a Creative space!

Want to Keep AI? Address the issues. To make it easy on you, here's Five things that need to be done before AI can be even remotely acceptable.

1. Massively reduce the water and power consumption
2. Train only on public domain and willingly donated content, not stolen content.
3. Introduce regulations to prevent people from creating things such as Deepfakes and things that rhyme with "Mild Corn", and properly punish those who do use it to create such things.
4. STOP FORCING IT INTO EVERYTHING! AI does not need to be in my Car, in my Toothbrush, or in so many other things! Give people the ability to say NO to AI being installed on their device!
5. Reduce the number of Datacenters being built, and stop building them in marginalized communities and areas that are already struggling with water consumption. Put them in space if you really need too, just chill with them on earth.

Do all that and we can keep the genie out of the bottle as you AI sloppers like to say so much. Until then though, AI is not and will never be acceptable. especially in creative spaces.

Even considering AI integration makes me irrationally angry. I don't like it, I don't want it, and I see how exploitive it is. As a creative I hate having my work stolen and used for the profit of the Epstein class. The only people that are pro AI are those that want more money in their pocket by offering a gimmick disguised as a tool. The more you push this, the more that alternatives look better and better. And mind you, these alternatives are not great. But being free of AI theft and abuse is worth the jank.

Twitch is about people. AI isn’t people and it has no place here.

Once again. Nobody wants AI on this platform. A lot of us have already made that clear. Twitch was made by it's creators and it was made to be the best streaming platform because of them, not because of corporate interjection like this. AI stomps all over creatives like us who create everything we use ourselves because we love what we do. So please, cancel this event and this whole AI integration stuff and just celebrate the creators that make the platform what it is.

Twitch is getting more out of touch by the second. I don't even know what else to say. The continued push of AI is going to kill every remaining good thing about this app. Maybe that's the end goal?
