Twitch streamers can now opt out from training Amazon’s AI
TL;DR
Twitch users can now opt out of having their content used to train Amazon's generative AI models. According to a Twitch support page, the opt-out covers streams, VODs, clips, stream chats, and the images and text on your own channel. AI-supported features such as captions and safety tools keep working even after you opt out. One catch remains: when you post in someone else's chat, that channel owner's preference decides whether those messages can be used for training.
Nauti's Take
The opt-out is real progress for creators who do not want their work sitting in Amazon's training data, and it costs no features: captions and safety tools keep running. The limit shows up in chat, where the other channel's setting decides, not yours.
Streamers who care about control should flip the switch and still assume clips can travel onward through third parties.
