I legitimately want a setting on YouTube to block/remove AI content for my account, especially anything with an AI voice over. It's all fucking trash. Normally a company would want to introduce features that are desirable to customers, but it won't happen this time. Billionaires are all in on AI, and they don't want to lose money if/when it flops, so I'm sure they'll be no way for people to prevent AI being shoved down their throat
The “x” in the youtube browser tab or the “x” at the corner of the youtube app is the button that removes the slop
