Update:
It has been over a year since we initially started this feedback post. Since then we have gathered almost 8,000 upvotes and 71 pages full of comments asking Twitch to revert the category images or allow creatives from the community to create new, non-generative category images. Twitch's lack of action or even acknowledgment of this UserVoice post is a blatant disregard for the concerns of this community, and is quite frankly very disappointing. Thank you so much to everyone who has added your voice to this message, and I hope that Twitch will recognize and respond to this community at some point.Some of these category images were made using AI in blatant capacities. The definitive language regarding the Art category should be amended, though.
The Art category frame was made with stock imagery not *labelled* as AI. The image does seem improperly labelled, as the original non-generated version has been identified, though the employee photo-bashing the category image would not have been responsible for that.
The person choosing the image for the 'Fitness + Health' would have known that it was AI, as it is clearly labelled as such and contained clear visual markers indicative of generative work. 'The Food and Drink' category image has blatant and clear visual markers for AI. Folks have reasonable suspicions for other categories as well.
None of the category images should have been made with AI when Twitch has a thriving creative community eager to add to it. The positive benefit of hiring Twitch creatives for the new Hype-Train emotes has been celebrated by all parties across the board.
In light of the info that stock clearly labelled as AI was used, I think it is also fair to ask that Twitch review its stock image use policies to avoid generative work in future. It's clear from over 6,000 up-votes (updated: 7.9K+) and almost 60 (updated: 71) pages of comments that the community doesn't view the use of such technologies and their by-products favorably, nor do they feel well represented by them.
So bullet points:
- Many folks in the Art community to not feel well represented by the new category even if it hadn't been made via an expressly AI generated stock image, as it only highlights a small portion of the community compared to the previous image.
- Multiple of the category images have been made with blatant and verifiable use of AI, and we ask that these be reverted, re-designed by creatives (would be awesome if they were from Twitch!), or at the very least remade with stock that wasn't created with generative technologies.
- Twitch has a massive, thriving creative population and many of us take issue with the way that generative AI, in its current state has ethical issues regarding the lack of transparency, lack of compensation, lack of credit, and and lack of consent—not to mention devastating environmental impacts. To use it anywhere in Twitch's official assets disregards this community that has been largely exploited using this technology.
- We ask that Twitch review it's stock-image use policy and avoid using stock clearly labelled as AI in future, as much of the community does not view the technology favorably/feel well represented by itThank you to everyone who has upvoted thus far and has made their voice known. I am disappointed in this decision as a creative, but am so proud to be a part of a community so passionate and willing to stand up for what they believe in.

To be clear, the art category's thumbnail is one of the few that could just be a few photoshop job with a weird frame that somehow exists with as many irregularities as it does. But when you erode the trust of the community time and time again and then don't credit the people making these assets, you continue to alienate your creatives. NONE of these category images should have been made via image generation when you have thousands of creatives who are eager and at your disposal. These weren't a matter of budget or necessity, these were choices that were made that disregarded that populace and their concerns entirely.

Why is it running backwards on the treadmill 😩 There was no need to use Gen AI here, plenty of cute and *real* dogs that would be happy to wear a sporty outfit and run at top speed for a photo.

Reposting from a similar thread but:
I’m genuinely also begging for this. The people on Twitch are here because we DON’T like the ways other platforms have set everything up. Twitch doesn’t need to follow YouTube’s lead it just needs to listen to what streamers actually ask for.
I am EXTREMELY uncomfortable that all of a sudden someone can come in and pin a message to the top of my chat with no control on my part.
I am EXTREMELY uncomfortable that I cannot disable this feature.
If someone says something creepy or off putting in chat, I can ignore it— if someone pays for a hype chat I am put in a MUCH more uncomfortably position.
Please give us the ability to disable this feature. Please give us the ability to make these comments go through some sort of moderation queue. We don’t want *less* control in the name of profit. We want to be able to have to tools available to be able to do what works best for our stream.
Please give us a choice.

Why are my own privacy/security settings overridden if I'm chatting in a creator's chat who has settings different from my own? I have no way to know if my consent is being honored in every chat that I am in due to there being no way to tell which creator's have opted out. Am I supposed to stop chatting in new chats where I don't know the streamer? There's no way for me to ask them if they've turned the setting off without potentially risking my data being used in a way counter to my OWN privacy/security settings. If you are giving us the chance to opt out, that needs to be across the board or at the very least honoring the opt-out signals by default when there are creators and chatters with conflicting settings.
What's going to happen with the game devs who don't want their game content being fed to AI? Are they just out of luck? Even if you allow them to opt out of their game category, that requires streamers to correctly categorize their games, which they often do not. We're allowed to stream these games because devs and IP holders allow what could technically be considered copyright infringement if they weren't feeling particularly favorably towards us or the platform. Are we trying to burn through the goodwill that allows this website to function for 99.99% of gaming streams here?
The stream-together issue also needs to be addressed to default to honoring the opt-out signal when creators have conflicting settings. This was candidly a half-baked roll out and there needed to be forewarning, ANY amount of on-website notification, and better communication. Twitter is not the place news should be dropping, especially as many creators have fully moved off of that platform. As everyone has said, this should have been opt-in, but if it had to be opt-out, there were better ways of rolling it out than this.
Deeply disappointed in y'all and deeply concerned about my own privacy/security settings. This is embarrassing. Do better.
