Show HN: AI that watches and chats in YouTube/Twitch live streams

Hi HN,
I built an open-source tool called Live Stream Chat AI Agent. It lets an AI watch live streams (video, audio, and chat) and intelligently participate in the live chat using LLMs.
How it works: Userscript frontend (adds a control panel on live stream pages) Python backend Currently supports YouTube Live, Twitch, and Bilibili

Isn't this by definition spam? And how is one supposed to use it ethically if one doesn't control what is being emitted.
But then also, why at all? I'd say this is exactly what we don't need, AI messing with human discourse.
System prompts can guide the AI's behavior (e.g., its persona and rules).
My initial interest was mainly exploring AI in a live chat setting. Beyond that, a positive use could be to help moderate chat by flagging or filtering spam. Agree that responsible use is key.

Be kind. Don't be snarky.
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer...
Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
Please keep in mind that the purpose of HN is to satisfy intellectual curiosity, and we're trying to optimize for a different kind of discussion here. If you could please take a moment to read the guidelines and make an effort to observe them in future, we'd appreciate it.
