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.

GenAI is obscene and an absolute STUPID mess to get involved with. No good, self respecting person should ever touch Twitch again for embracing this sheer idiocy. Down with genAI.

You'd think Twitch would've learned from the reaction to their update livestream about opting out of AI. We do NOT want AI in creative spaces or entertainment because it's garbage that's destroying the environment and the minds of the general public. Let the AI companies go bankrupt already.

Hack is exactly what anyone who supports this is plain and simple. We don't need cuck coders who sit back in their chairs and watch the AI do all their work for them. Why do we not reward the real people who have put in the time, effort & money into perfecting their craft and who care about the work they do as more than just the end result?
As a community, the majority of Twitch content creators' voices are very loud about how anti-AI we all are and all the company itself does is plug its ears like a child and goes "LALALA WE'RE NOT LISTENING!" This WILL be detrimental to your business in the long-run AND in the short-run. You're not treating us like our opinions matter. Look what happened to Party Animals - they ran an AI contest and most of their base abandoned them.
Not only that, but on top of it, supporting AI and the data centers that ravage underprivileged neighborhoods all across the US is vile. Without the consent of the people living there, they displace people, pollute their air and water, drive electricity bills to the point of being unaffordable and so much more. You clearly don't understand the impact of what you're doing and how far it goes. Stop supporting robots. Stop being anti-human.

twitch already does not earn any sustainable revenue LMFAO i have no idea why they think this is a good idea. they are shooting themselves in the foot. many artists and creatives stream their process to get away from AI shitnoise and be more open with their audience... extremely out of touch move. who approved this?

This is just blatantly telling everyone on your site, "We don't care about any of you and will completely discard you for money that potentially may exist...".

Allowing this Event to happen is **GUARANTEED** to cause your stock to drop. This WILL kill your Company, and you will NEVER make the money back that you burned for AI.

New technology integration should be done with care and consideration. This is shoving it down our throats and causing more harm than good. Corporations are being too hasty and reckless with these ai integrations. It needs to stop before everything becomes slop.

Twitch doesn't need AI. Twitch doesn't need to destroy the world it's streaming from. Just use the creative people already in your community to do rad things. Don't be an AI supporter.

People are already struggling to get anywhere on this platform, and you just want to further isolate those people? What are we doing here. No one wants AI on this platform and you all KNOW this!

The only thing I want twitch to do with genAI is throw it in the garbage.

This is not a direction we need on a platform where PEOPLE are the focus. AI is inherently anti-people.

Generative ai is not the future I want to ever be apart of. I will not support or attend a convention that allows it. Let alone the platform.

I will never support GenAI or anyone using it. There is no ethical use of this “technology.” It’s toxic, everyone hates it, and it will not bring Twitch any future benefit. Invest the funds somewhere more deserving than a faulty technology that’s boiling the planet and has never been ready for prime time.

We don't need more AI garbage like this involved in our creation platform. Please do not go through with this.
