Amazon bought Twitch for $970 million in 2014.
12 years later, Twitch holds something increasingly valuable to Amazon: years of video, speech, images, text and live conversations produced by millions of people.
A new setting now permits Amazon to use streams, VODs, clips, channel images, text and chat messages to train generative AI. The switch appears enabled by default, and creators must turn it off themselves.
The strangest rule concerns chat.
If you write in another streamer’s chat, your own preference does not control whether that message may enter training. The streamer whose channel hosted the conversation controls it.
One person speaks. Someone else controls the consent switch.
Twitch says opting out prevents future generative-model training, but it does not stop other AI-supported uses such as recommendations, moderation or sponsorship tools.
Platforms spent twenty years treating user activity as data for ranking feeds and selling ads. Generative AI gives the same archives another customer inside the parent company.
Amazon does not need to purchase a training dataset from Twitch.
It purchased Twitch.
