I first came to twitch not long after it had seperated from parent website Justin.tv. In the 15 years since I have seen all sorts of communities and creators, and I have seen all sorts of people stumble and fail, or give up streaming for one reason or another. I cannot think of a quicker and easier way to destroy this platform than to use it as an AI breeding ground. Streamers and viewers alike value sincerity on this platform over almost anything else, and introducing AI to this platform, among a gaming heavy community, who famously do not appreciate AI, undermines a decade and a half of reputation built by Twitch. It is not enough that some, or indeed all of it, may be opt-outable. If Twitch wishes to lose relevance and market share to its competitors, this is the way to do it. If they wish to remain a reputable platform with independant presence and a variety of streamers of all sizes, they will not allow AI on the platform.
