This is disgusting. So many of us creators have fought time and time again to remove Ai from Twitch, and you continue to shove it down our throats.

No ai on Twitch! None of your consumers, viewers, or streamers want ai!

So the backlash against the opt-out of AI stuff you pushed on your users wasn't enough to show you that your userbase doesn't want AI used nor encouraged on your platform? How many times do people need to say GenAI is theft and they don't want it before you listen?

Nobody wants this. Stop.

On one hand the AI investing bubble is set to cause the biggest economic catastrophe in the history of money and everyone with an interest in creative expression, like Twitch's users, is vigorously against it, as we saw recently when they tried to stealthily implement data scraping on the site. But on the other, Twitch can presumably make a neat profit if they can help grow that bubble a little further.

You knew people were upset about adding the automatic opt-in for gen AI, yet you thought an event WITH OpenAI would be a good idea? If you could add images to these comments, I guarantee that this page would be flooded with this SpongeBob meme:

Adding a week to my Twitch boycott

Allowing and endorsing Ai content and partnering with companies like OpenAi is an affront to all the userbase of Twitch. If you dont support real people over generative garbage you will loose all the creatives that allows Twitch to run.

Frankly, having to opt-out was already crossing a boundary, but to continue to push for Ai like this is furthering a betrayal to the core ideas of platforms like Twitch and Youtube which has always been about the people, arts, and connecting us all. Make the right decision and recind all support for Ai and take it out of our spaces.

No one truly likes Ai and to stand for short term profits that comes from a dying bubble of debt and despair that is already ruining so many things will bring you more harm than good. When you prioritize profits over all else, your product suffers, and we can all learn to live without it by making a new place.

You are not essential, so act like it and show us why we should bother continuing to support you when you choose to betray us all like this. LLM have no place here or anywhere and its time you and all other companies realize that.

If you really prefer alienating the actual people that support you, then don't be suprised when you are left in the dust by newer people-prioritizing platforms that will be made in retaliation.

I don't want AI to be shoved at me on your platform, you already blew it with the opt out garbage!!! How can we trust any choices you make with AI when you've already tried to hide your intentions and announce it later? Did you already forget that backlash or do you just want to repeat that?

Keep your theft machine away from creators.

Genai and anything of the sort does more harm than good. Wasting millions of dollars to "vibe code" projects instead of paying thousands for real people with real skill, who KNOW why something works and what doesn't. You will end up having a human check anyway.

You want to support the creatives that are allowing you to have any finance to do this? Actually help your creatives. Help all your streamers in providing environments and genuine resources that are welcoming and bring people back to the website.

Twitch, your obsession with automating everything in the hopes to save a penny, will be your undoing.

Again I have to say NO to ANY AI implementation on this website, I will not use it as a viewer or as a streamer.

AI is dogshit. Nobody wants it.

Fire yourselves or drop AI completely. Those are your only choices, execs.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, I already detest it by principle as many others for many-a-good reasons, but as far as this month alone is concerned, I can only expect such "developments" to end up in more exploits being shared not with devbranches to be patched out but public often ending up in the wrong hands, except in an exponential manner, leading to more harassment campaigns.

You can thank the individual that has singlehandedly facilitated that back in `21 for setting up the groundwork for that ending up in four continuous months of nothing but strife, then went on to haze other support platforms in a similar fashion just for sport in the following years.

Knock it off.

There's still an opportunity to turn this around and not alienate most of your userbase. Stop supporting DegenerativeAI that is drowning out the real human creativity that holds up your platform.

Twitch is built upon the hard work, the PASSION of human beings, not these computed LLMS that only can function when it steals human-made work!!!! When will you listen to what actually has made you your billions, and not that measly, shriveled thing that you have as a brain? NO MORE GENERATIVE AI

As soon as there is a viable alternative to Twitch that isn't fully embracing this destructive tech fad, you will witness an exodus of users because of your years of insistence that your brain dead CEOs know more than the people who comprise of and actually use your platform on a daily basis.

NO. As a streamer and a developer, *******. AI has no place in this world and anyone supporting it should lose all their money. This is a desperate thing in a long line of bad decisions.

Please refrain from using generative AI.

please stop using generative AI. just stop it.

AI is theft, every single time

I know Twitch actively doesn't care about what their userbase thinks, or they never would have suggested this. I'm adding my voice to the crowd anyway.
