A developer has built a tool named YouTube-Tools that scrapes YouTube comments, uses AI to predict where a user lives, their language preferences, and political inclinations. It began as a site to investigate League of Legends usernames but now uses a modified large language model by Mistral to generate reports on YouTube commenters. Though aimed at law enforcement, anyone can subscribe for $20 a month, leading to concerns about potential misuse.
