Twitch content has trained Amazon AI for years, but users can opt out now
arstechnica.com/ai/2026/08/twitch-content-has-trained-amazon-ai-for-years-but-users-can-opt-out-now/Seems even less fruitful than training it on Reddit or Xitter to be honest. What are they hoping to achieve? A clown AI that‘s fluent in skibidi toilet?
There are crazy people who believe they can just real time hallucinate consistent and fun video games without actually building real games.
Google has already put out multiple demonstrations of early versions.
I’m skeptical they will ever make them have grounded world interactions, collision or consistency over time. I’m also skeptical they will ever be cost effective to run.
But yeah, this is one possibility.
Considering LLMs still completely fail at even executing a consistent narrative D&D like roleplaying experience, which is the strongest possible use case for the technology in this area; I’m also sceptical this will ever be a good experience
I think this is them saying “yeah, we’re good now, we got all we want for the time being. you can opt. thank you!”
It's a tiny fraction of people that ever bother changing the default settings, this is pretty much just to appease the vocal minority.
Best headline about this so far.
Took a look at twitch a long time ago and opted out right then.
