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.

I have a great distaste for generative AI and partnering with it like this is event such a disappointment. Be better.

How many times does gen AI have to fail before we're done with it for good?

This is not acceptable considering a company like OpenAI openly markets itself as dangerous and unstoppable, and stealing from everyone and selling it back as "intelligent generative technology". Revoke this partnership as soon as possible and let us disable more of the AI stuff on Twitch.

You're entire platform is based on creators. GenAI cannot create anything stream worth watching. Y'all are actively digging your own grave with this decision. Cancel it and save yourselves several metric tons of headaches.

Short term benefits are not worth the long term damage of Generative AI. Stop being fools.

Twitch was made thanks to the efforts of real people, making real content, with real human effort and passion. I do not want that to be replaced by soulless machines that only produce slop content, fake and misleading content, and hurt not only the efforts of actual talented human beings, but both the environment and the economy. If Twitch does anything with AI content, it will only hurt the platform in the long run and users like myself and even creators will leave the platform permanently. Please do not go forward with this AI event and please cease any and all operations in trying to integrate AI with the platform. Please and thank you.

You built your platform on the backs of the people who make content on twitch. You want to collaborate with a company who steals the work of the talents that make your company thrive. This is a real 'bite the hand that feeds you' kind of move, guys.

Every day I have to constantly spam "Not interested" across multiple platforms for blatantly AI generated content, it's already ruined the Internet enough

How much money did OpenAI have to give you to be a mouthpiece for this? You are a company of content creators of all sorts of skillsets and you're going to offer prizes for people to use AI? Is this another demand from Daddy Bezos? At this point, you could roll back all the AI ****, hyper focus on things people want, and be sincere and honest about the financial support you need to run and maybe get your soul back from Amazon.

AI has NO PLACE in spaces meant for creators. Ditch it and ditch any association with it or your customers will find somewhere safer and more friendly to our interests.

No AI please. Nobody wants AI but grifters and scammers. Do you want to be associated with grifters and scammers, or with quality entertainment? If you want the latter, choose to remove AI from the platform.
Nobody needs it. Not you, and certainly not your users, both streamers and viewers.
Remove AI from your whole company! -

Get that slopfest out of here. This platform is and always has been broadcasting human creativity. We don't want AI. We don't *need* AI.

we don't want AI. You know we don't want AI. Why do you insist on the AI? Is it your Amazon Overlords? Seriously cancel it. Alternatives are already starting to spawn and people are leaving. its only a matter of time before your biggest money makers bail on your platform if you keep this up.

As a streamer, I stopped using your platform over a year ago for health reasons. However I have since made a solid recovery and been perfectly capable of returning for several months now. The problem is, every time I try there's some new AI garbage I have to deal with first. Be it from you directly, from what I thought were safe games to stream, or from 3rd party streamer tools, which appear to be what you're actively endorsing, encouraging and funding with this event. It's so exhausting to maintain a safe environment free from data scraping and slop that I have nothing left to put into streaming itself. Before we even get to how bad the toll on my mental welbeing this AI-saturated landscape is and how hard that makes it to be in any way entertaining.
And, as a viewer, I still use your platform. But it's not the only one anymore and nor is it my first port of call. Honestly, I'm really liking how no nonsense Picarto is right now. None of your targeted hate ads or horrendous fomo features, no AI. Not even as much latency, once you find the right settings. Just a nice, relaxing, stream watching experience like the good old days. So I actively watch people over there before anyone on Twitch. And I'm seeing a lot of love for the more aggressively anti-AI Altstream too.
You've been poisoning the well for so long that people have built alternatives on par with what you used to be. So, if you don't stop soon, people are going to find they have a better time elsewhere. And hoo boy is AI one of the best ways to make sure folks go looking!

Doubling down on the slop machine is not what any good human being wants. Stop this nonsense.
