In August 2026, Twitch faced intense criticism after introducing a feature allowing users to opt out of having their channel content used to train Amazon’s generative AI models.
在 2026 年 8 月，Twitch 因為推出了一項功能，允許用戶選擇退出讓其頻道內容被用於訓練亞馬遜的生成式 AI 模型，而面臨強烈的批評。
Twitch claims this training improves their AI, but the community reaction was immediate and harsh.
Twitch 聲稱這種訓練可以改進他們的 AI，但社群的反響卻非常迅速且嚴厲。
Many critics argued that making the setting 'opt-in' by default was deceptive.
許多批評者認為，將該設置默認為「選擇加入（opt-in）」是一種欺騙行為。
Chief Product Officer Mike Minton sparked further controversy by admitting that if the feature were opt-in, 'nobody would opt in.'
產品長 Mike Minton 因為承認如果該功能是「選擇加入」的話，「根本沒人會選擇加入」，從而引發了進一步的爭議。
Even with the setting disabled, features like AutoMod continue to use data for immediate processing, though Twitch maintains this information is not used for long-term model training.
即使禁用了該設置，像 AutoMod 這樣的自動審核功能仍會為了即時處理而使用數據，儘管 Twitch 堅持此類資訊不會被用於長期的模型訓練。
This event serves as a clear reminder of the tension between AI development and digital creator autonomy.
這起事件清楚地提醒了人們 AI 開發與數位創作者自主權之間的緊張關係。
