When I first saw the category image update I had my suspicions, but now of course they're confirmed.
Twitch has an unfathomable amount of creative talent from all walks of life, and to water it down with AI representation is insulting to say the absolute least.
Perhaps there's a contract in place that was made a long time ago with whatever techbro company that convinced them to make a deal to place it for some amount of time, perhaps it's a severe lapse of jugement from those on the board to severely underestimate the ability and creative enthusiasm of the communities that exist on this platform.
Maybe it's just "to save money"
To that last point, Twitch takes more than it's fair share of the cuts to have that argument, IMO. We all know who owns the company.
Please the shareholders? Save a few pennies in their pockets? it's the communities that make Twitch what it is. Real living, breathing people, and we all deserve to be represented in our categories by who makes this platform as great as it is.
To have front page features showcasing the talent only to turn around and use AI slop is an insult at *best*

Hi Twitch. How about not falling for the extremely obvious grift that GenAI is and actually standing by and for your user base? You know, the user base that built this place into what it is and is the reason people, and brands, have come to this platform at all?
Getting in bed with some stupid AI company might sound good for your profit margins now but, when the bubble bursts (as it's bound to), you'll end up being worse off than if you had just invested in the creators that make this place what it is in the first place.
