🚨PSA For Twitch Streamers Moving to YouTube! YT has (unfortunately) automatically enrolled creators in AI features for over a year and you must turn off MULTIPLE settings in YT Studio to avoid it! ➡️Under Advanced Channel Settings, make sure to turn off AI Training, AI Dubbing, + AI Enhancements!

A panel added to my Twitch channel (username: LauraPetal)

NO GEN AI

This channel has been opted out of Amazon's sweeping Generative AI training implementations. No VODs, clips, chat messages, stream interactions or whatever else is made here will be fed into Amazon's generative AI models. Your messages and interactions are safe here.

This channel is staunchly in the "NO GEN AI" camp. We do not use any generative AI tools in any of the stream's extensions and features connected to this account. We do not accept any generated AI content, and we reserve the right to tell offending users to take said content away from this channel.

Streamers this is your civic duty to: - Cancel your Twitch Subs and Prime - Resort to third-party websites such as Ko-Fi, Throne, Streamloots supporting your favorite streamer - Have alternative places to stream such as TikTok, YouTube, or Joystick #twitch #vtuber #streamer #furrylive #StopGenAI

 shares declined around 1% on Thursday as attention turned to a privacy dispute involving Twitch and the use of creator content for artificial intelligence development.

Twitch, Amazon's livestreaming service, recently enabled a data-sharing option across creator accounts by default. The setting allows livestream video and chat material to be used by Amazon's AI systems, while the control to disable it is located within account security settings.

Amazon said the audio captured from streams can support development of speech-recognition technology, including tools used for captions and voice-related applications. The policy has prompted criticism from some creators concerned that their likenesses or voices could eventually contribute to AI models without their active consent.

Amazon's Twitch leadership defended the approach, arguing that an opt-in system could result in limited participation. Twitch also said the setting gives creators a way to manage the use of their content, although viewers may still contribute to chat data when a channel retains the feature. The reaction comes as Amazon continues investing heavily in cloud infrastructure and AI services, areas that remain more closely tied to its broader financial performance.

I feel kinda bad for going public about that but I can’t just have people throwing out lies about my business and expecting zero consequences for it. I have blacklisted them from working with me again. I was told they weren’t trying to intentionally “stir” anything but the damage is done.

Kind of frustrating to make a post like this but please do not lie to your friends and say an artist never finished a commission when they did. 2 years ago. Especially when they have screenshots of their conversations with the client, the final piece in psd + png, timed & dated for 2 years ago.
