Wow, I mean just wow. This is such a beautifully succinct summary of the underlying concepts behind generative AI use that I could teach a full lecture on the cyberpsychology on display. The motivations. The implied sociological pressures. The perceptions and grievances. It's all just... there.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I do plan to (also?) stream on YT and/or stream.place cause I enjoy streaming and want to see if I can have fun with it on different platforms with different communities. Maybe that will bring new opportunities for growth and income! Idk but Twitch unforch feels like increasingly diminishing returns
I also have looked into self-hosting and, as I told @afrocentrickali.bsky.social technically know how to accomplish it, and maybe all this hubballoo with Twitch will motivate me to actually set something up
My point being that a lot of us have likely already been negatively impacted by automatic filtering because we use terms in our channel titles, tags, and profiles that likely exclude us from certain campaigns anyway. AI will exacerbate an existing problem, but I doubt it's creating a new one.
I don't want these things automated at all, but they BEEN automated. "AI" is just the same shit with more autonomy (yikes) but it's not like human people were assigning advertisers/campaigns to streamers manually—outside of their largest partners, of course. Its always been an algorithm 🤷🏾♀️

Oh imma about to act TF up 💀 how many brands can we scare away challenge!!
CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety. It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.
