Twitch Faces Backlash Over Default AI Training With Hidden Opt-Out
Streamers are pushing back after Twitch quietly enabled default AI training on creators’ content and hid the opt-out option in security settings; Twitch’s CPO said opt-out was chosen to maximize participation, prompting fears that creators aren’t being asked for consent. Because opting out is per-channel, chats on other streams can still be used to train AI, leading creators to tag their channels with aioptedout and push on a feedback forum where the top vote-getter calls for AI features to be optional and opt-in.
