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.

AI is an insult to life and to creativity! And Twitch is entering in a dangerous field, which is killing its website, and this has to stop now!

A creative space has no place for AI slop and its stolen foundation.

Seems very disrespectful to your extremely creative userbase to have a fun stream with the plagiarism machine.

It is EXHAUSTING to constantly have generative AI pushed into creative fields when the user base is absolutely against it.
Leadership clearly isn't strong enough at Twitch to push back against this. What a joke.
Keep your grubby AI hands out of our streams.

The current gen-ai that exists is incredibly harmful from stealing from artists to the environment impact to the fact it has people enslaved in other countries to manually check for harm. This is not something that in its current state that Twitch should be supporting

I don't wish to see any AI-created or AI-coded features. Even if they don't feature common pitfalls such as being buggy and poorly optimized, they rely on a technology that is actively making our environment worse. It is affecting people living there in ways that are actively life threatening. On top of all of that it only serves to normalize the usage of it both on and off the platform. I do not wish to engage with or spend money on a platform that doesn't choose to showcase the genuine human spirit and instead prioritizes AI-created "slop."

Gen AI makes people legitimately stop using services. If you want to retain your user base, DO NOT shove it in our faces. Nobody wants it here.

You know **** well that the community at large does not want any part of Generative AI. Stop shoving it down our throats.

You could do better by the people and not follow through with such blatant disregard for creatives. Given the track record here though, I'm not full of much hope. This company has only been acting more and more tasteless and inauthentic.

No body wants Gen ai, on or outside twitch. Please stop adding it.

I said this once, and I’ll say it again. STOP with the Gen AI nonsense on our platform, nobody asked for this!

It has been quite a loud and vocal group of people that have been saying no to AI stuff and this comes around? Come on now, people are telling what they don't want. Listen to the people for crying out loud.

Please stop forcing us to use AI, you already admitted that if you didn't force people into the last AI thing, people would not opt in themselves. This is dragging Twitch into the ground, and this will force people to look for other alternatives.

Please stop adding genAI feature to the platform. The last one was so wildly unpopular you had to FORCE people to opt into for the hopes that people would just not turn it off. This rapid march to genAI is sickening. You are rapidly alienating your userbase with every pro AI decision.

Twitch is a great platform that many creatives use to share their work and passion. Generative AI is known to take from creatives without permission, compensation, or credit and then undermine their hard work and creativity. The first thing many twitch streamers did when AI was added to the platform was opt out, which I believe shows how they feel on the matter. Please reconsider the centering of GenAI on your platform, as it is likely to alienate a large portion of your user base. There are much better ways to add value to your platform.
