There is no such thing as enough data, probably more that users are catching on and complaining.

The fact that users have been automatically opted in to this AI training for years is causing a lot of anger.

But it's mostly a placebo button:

opting out will not prevent your data being used if you chat on someone else's stream

You can say no, except not really.
