Here's how to turn off the Gen-AI training on Twitch. Step 1. Go to Account Settings. Step 2. Go to Security & Privacy. Step 3. Scroll all the way down till you see "Training for Generative AI". Step 4. Turn that son of a bitch off forever. Step 5. Profit. Hope this helps anyone! ❤️

Check it twice! They didn't include an Apply or Save button and the first time I turned it off it came back on.

There is a reasonable reason for this on the technical side. Most of twitch uses an aws database called DynamoDB, which is distributed, and sometimes has read-only-replicas, as well as uses caching on requests. This means that a write (settings update) can take a bit to get populated to everything.

The biggest thing is to make sure that it gets handled gracefully in situations like this. Not send an update to undo a settings change on a reload for example. I think if you had given it a minute, the setting would have shown up as changed just fine.

be that as it may, i still don't trust them enough to leave it to chance
