Using Twitch streams to train AI is bound to lead to AI-generated streams. That will be bad for streamers and the audience alike, and would inevitably lead to Twitch dying.
The only people who want this are investors who prioritize money over anything.
As a streamer: If I can't trust the platform to not mess with my streams, I obviously won't stream on that platform.
As an audience member: If I cannot trust the stream to be from the creator, but suspect it is influenced by AI generation - I won't watch streams on that platform.
As either, If I cannot trust the platform to not use predatory tactics to steal data from content producers - I won't use the platform.
Twitch has the advantage of being the biggest streamer platform. Here's hoping they don't take that for granted and self-destruct just to get on the AI bandwagon bound for ruins.
