Look, I get that people are freaking out about AI potentially taking over streaming or whatever, but honestly? We need MORE regulation on streaming platforms, not less - and that includes AI integration. Here's what everyone's missing - streaming platforms are already using AI algorithms to manipulate what content gets promoted, what streamers get visibility, and how monetization works. These black-box systems are literally deciding who succeeds and who doesn't, and we have zero transparency about it. That's way more concerning than some hypothetical future AI streamer. Plus, think about the current Wild West situation we're in. Platforms can change their terms overnight, demonetize creators without clear explanations, or shadow-ban people based on opaque AI decisions. We're already seeing AI-generated content flooding platforms with zero disclosure requirements. The solution isn't to fear AI - it's to regulate these platforms so they have to be transparent about their algorithms, fair in their enforcement, and accountable for their AI systems. We need rules that protect actual human creators from being buried by algorithmic bias or AI spam. Without proper regulation, we're just letting big tech companies use AI to consolidate even more power over who gets to make a living creating content online.
