I have been watching content creators on Twitch and Youtube for over a decade. Ever since youtube began rolling out AI features and forcing ads at the end of videos I have been tuning into twitch more and more. Every day we hear about more and more AI, encroaching on our creative content, our jobs, our livelihoods, and our environment. The expansion and relentless addition of this technology into every piece of our lives has been done extremely irresponsibly and without regulation or guardrails. I believe that it is good business to avoid using a technology that would actively harm the community base that makes twitch great, many of whom would be very opposed to AI training on their content. I also hope that twitch staff can understand from an emotional/personal standpoint when I say I would be extremely dissapointed if twitch were to start adding these features. Right now twitch is a bit of an escape for me from all the uncertainties in the world right, allowing AI models to train on twitch streams would only remind me of these unprecedented issues we face, I would find it hard to continue to use twitch if they allow AI to train on streams at all, especially if its not opt out by default.
Please consider rolling back on this decision. I'm so tired of AI being shoved in everything where it doesn't belong.
