Even IF GenAI was as useful as companies seem to think, it has no place on Twitch! Twitch is for the creatives and the people who work hard, day and night to provide entertainment or educational content. It's built on connection, community and passion, none of which can be taught to a machine.
If this does get through, even against the wishes of many many creators, the platform WILL suffer the consequences of it. I for one, will definitely look for other alternatives to stream on, and I do believe many others will do the same. Not only will the platform lose money that won't be earned by some of us anymore, which might be insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but doing this equals to spending loads on something that has already proven to be a money sink. Multiple GenAI services are already in the negative and it will happen to Twitch too. On top of it all, we haven't even talked about the horrible environmental impact it has.
From all angles it is simply the worst idea that has been pitched. We do not want this on Twitch!
