This move by Twitch will be unsurprising to me, but it is immensely disappointing. The best we can do is have our say on this on this UserVoice: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... The longevity of this investor bait continues to astound me, and I will continue to wait for its collapse.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Felt like revisiting MSPaint and had a bunch of fun painting this on stream today! #art #MSPaint #digitalpainting

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow of two white roses that have grown right next to each other. Sunlight is cast across them, making them radiate the light, and is dappled across the dark leaves around them.

If you don't like what Twitch is planning regarding their upcoming AI midstream summary feature go and vote on this uservoice post. Super important to make your voice heard to Twitch about this!

Dear Twitch, No. Best wishes, Me and probably every artist on the platform.

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a scene from the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. The main character Hornet sits in the middle of a small dimly lit room, surrounded by many fluffy round creatures called fleas.
