If this gets implemented the way it's intended, it will be the last change/new "feature" Twitch will add with me on their platform. As a VTuber, i can only say that all of us despise genAI, with many artists who create our avatars being explicitly against AI usage on their works. Same with artists who create our assets and everything around our live streams in general.
It feels very much like a kick in the a** to me. Giving us a platform, building our career and sometimes even our life earnings around Twitch, and then crushing our jobs and passions, our hopes and dreams, with a stupid proposal like this. We will not be allowed to stream on Twitch anymore if we want to respect our artists TOS being against AI training. Plus, it's environmentally hurtful and, as many other people already mentioned, literally nobody wants this except for big tech investors.
If this gets implemented as is, it will be the death of Twitch, and I'm going to switch to YouTube (which I hope I won't need to since YouTube is really unrewarding when it comes to live streams). So please Twitch, get your sh** together and cancel this. Keep genAI away from us.
