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.

No one wants this! Let creators create on this app without fear of this destructive GenAi slop!

No one wants this, and the checks going to bounce. Human interaction and creativity made Twitch, this AI push will kill it.

"No one would Opt In" to throwing tens of thousands of dollars to growing the problem is definitely a pipeline. You're ******* filthy, twitch team

I'm becoming incredibly tired with the dumb ******** who run this website trying their hardest to run it into the ground.

Twitch has grown in big part thanks to talented tool developers building things for free, on good will.
This move by twitch is how you convince real tool authors to leave forever.

The fact that GenAI is actively and notably making everything and everyone worse, but Dan Clancy and the rest of the decision-makers are pushing (more of) it on people that don’t want it(reluctantly or not because of Daddy Amazon), proves how out of touch they are and that they should all bow out and step down after also cancelling and removing any and all GenAI projects attached to Twitch

This is such a slap in the face to all of the communities who have spoken out about AI. It's also very insulting that Twitch is working with OpenAI considering they have multiple valid lawsuits for the gross harm they have caused already. No one asked for this, no one wants this, and yet you keep insisting on forcing it on everyone because of your own greed.

This is such a massive slap in the face for all REAL creatives on this platform, especially in time when y'all should be hyping up HUMAN creatives & not slop makers who wouldn't know what a coding language is even if it could physically slap them in the face.

Making an event like this is a huge middle finger to creators who dedicate hours, days, weeks to make their very own projects. Are you guys seriously wanna bring AI slop that loses quality? Just because you want to make it "rushed"?
This is just shameful

We really do not need a event like this, you saw how the community spoke up about the last AI stuff you tried, no one liked it, AI doesn’t belong anyway near Twitch in my eyes, there is a lot of other stuff on twitch that need sorting out.

This feels like a middle finger to so many creators that have worked to elevate the platform in the first place. Shameful.

not only do I not trust openAI to not secretly use this to scrape and train data off users without their consent, this also feels insanely disrespectful, nobody wants to see a contest for how fast people can make vibe coded slop

The fact that Twitch insists on betraying their userbase like this is incredibly disappointing. They should be ashamed of themselves, as any corpo should be. AI can go F off.

Generative AI:
- Is environmentally unfriendly
- Plagiarizes art and writing
- Steals jobs from human workers
- Gives unreliable responses
- Creates soulless, ugly art
- Poses threats to computer systems, as well as the safety and privacy of users
- Is hugely unpopular
- May cause me to leave Twitch -

Hey Twitch, take a lesson: We don't want AI on the platform. Stop trying to force it.
