    Generative artificial intelligence is already being forced upon a world that doesn't benefit from it in any way. Creatives are losing their livelihoods left and right in the wake of companies turning to AI, artists are seeing levels of plagiarism and misrepresentation on a scale never before witnessed, and trust in content creators is at a low, thanks to skepticism in what is real vs what is fake.

    Amazon is a heavy contributor to all aspects of the AI bubble, from building data centers that disproportionately impact low-income and predominately POC neighborhoods and sap areas of natural resources, to now targeting the content of Twitch creators to train its generative AI models.

    Let me be clear, calling it "training" is PR semantics to throw people off from what it really is: stealing content from original creators and using it to power an algorithm that can never embody the creativity, artistry, and spirit of a human creative. Further, pushing this on Twitch creators in a quiet, opt-in by default way is misleading, dubious, and distasteful. There is no Twitch without its creators. There is no audience to watch this platform without creators to go live on it. By using what we make to power something soulless, you are effectively telling the very foundation of Twitch that you do not value it.

    In short, do better. Be better. I NEVER comment on the goings on of Twitch because, frankly, I know how fluid and everchanging a platform like this can be. But I find this move to be disrespectful enough. Twitch is a community platform. Do right be the community.
