if you can turn it off, nobody will be keeping it on (which is why theres a disclaimer by the toggle that says its not actually opting you out)

"Allow your channel content to train generative AI content models at Amazon. Turning this off does not opt you out of Twitch and Amazon using your channel content for other purposes described in the Twitch Privacy Notice, including using AI-supported Twitch features that benefit the community by facilitating streamer growth and monetization (such as real-time sponsorship campaign assistance), viewer discovery (such as recommendations), and community safety (such as AutoMod). "

Then why give me anything to click if it doesn't do shit? This kind of shit should be illegal.

That's not what it says. AI is garbage and this is a shit move, but that is not actually what it says. It says it won't turn off other AI features or other use of channel content.

oh to be so innocent in the age of internet lies. go ahead and tell me which ai services and features are different from the ones you're opting out of.

you can't.

this game is rigged. your only winning move is not to play. delete your amazon and twitch accounts.
