I strongly echo support making all AI features optional and opt-in by default, and I agree with creators who have raised concerns about consent and control over how our content is used.
I also want to emphasize another important issue: compensation.
If Twitch believes creator content has enough value to use for AI training or to develop commercial AI systems, creators who voluntarily opt in should be fairly and transparently compensated for that use. Our content should not become a free source of training data simply because it exists on the platform.
Creators who want nothing to do with AI should have a clear, complete opt-out. Those who are willing to contribute should have the ability to opt in—but that choice should come with fair compensation, especially when their work creates commercial value for Twitch or its AI partners.
If Twitch wants creators to contribute to the future of AI, that contribution should be treated as valuable work not free data.
