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.

At twitch for implementing Generative AI on their website: 🍅🍅🍅🍅
Especially since they know that the user base do NOT want it!!
Because of this reason, the OpenAI x Twitch Twitchcon Hackathon Event needs to be CANCELED too.
So many streamers are already talking about moving to alternative streaming platforms, stop the Gen AI nonsense before your website dies. -

No one wants this, no one wants OpenAI or any form of Gen AI. Stop trying to force this on the Twitch community.

It's an absolute disgrace to showcase GenAI, a provably unethical technology that consistently results in buggy, unstable builds. To provide a platform for it, instead of the actual creatives putting in hard work to make so many amazing tools, is enormously insulting. Cancel the event, you're only ruining Twitch's already shaky reputation further.

Generative AI has been nothing but a blight on humanity since it first started and now it has only gotten worse. Embracing this is simply a middle finger to every living human being who has ever put love and care into their passions in the arts. Holding an event like this simply proves to us all that Twitch (and of course by extension Amazon) would rather see the arts crumble if it means it saves them a few dollars. Cancel this event and prove to humanity that you actually care about people and their efforts to bring beauty into this world, Twitch.

Frankly gross, nobody with even the smallest artistic bone wants this.

WE DO NOT WANT OPENAI! WE DO NOT WANT ANY FORM OF GENERATIVE AI!
Please, listen to what your viewers and content creators are telling you and stop trying to force generative AI on us. You're working hard to please a minority of people that, more likely than not, uses genAI to undermine the efforts of the very creators you claim to support (using stolen artwork and assets, stolen images of real people, and even stolen private information to hastily create their own lackluster product). Going through with this event will ONLY result in outrage that will only continue to grow louder and louder as you continue to ignore your userbase. OpenAI and generative AI is completely unethical and we do not want it.

Nobody asked for this, many streamers work hard often freely and the platform doing a collb with a mass plagiarism company is a slap in the face to the people that put so much into this platform.

The streamers & viewers on your platform have already well made their stance regarding genAI & such here on Twitch. We don't want it, & we never will. Stop trying to force it on us, stop trying to host events to "promote" it. Just roll it back & be done with the ordeal.
There is no ethical use of generative AI, & there never will be.

Any idea why there's an AIOptOut tag creators use? Things like this.
We get it Amazon, the line has to go up even if you shove Ads made by AI down our throat and promote "events" like this in a desperate attempt to keep the "AI dream" alive.
The line will crash eventually, so you can either have an empty shell of a platform when everyone leaves, or you can cut the investment losses and embarrassment now by supporting the creators and communities, - that made the platform what it is - especially marginalised ones to whom Twitch is the only place where they feel they belong or can make any sort of income. An alternative will be found.

The public is fed up with AI. We do not want it scraping the internet, we do not want it stealing people's jobs, we do not want it reaising the prices of energy bills, water bills, and computer parts such as RAM, we do not want it delivering poor quality results, we do not want it destroying rare books, we do not want it destroying the only planet we have to live. We do not want AI.

I turn off all AI features for a reason on so many websites or use blockers for that, so please do NOT use AI!
