Key points

New Safari Extension for YouTube Content Filtering
Weedout is a new Safari extension designed to filter out videos on YouTube that are labeled "Made with AI." The extension automatically removes these videos from various parts of the YouTube interface, including the home feed, search results, related video sections, playlists, and Shorts shelves.
Functionality and User Control
The extension operates by detecting YouTube's official "Made with AI" disclosure badge. It offers an optional "Dim mode" which allows users to see the AI-labeled videos in a 'wilted' state rather than completely removing them, providing a way to verify the filtering. Additionally, it can auto-skip AI-labeled Shorts within the Shorts player.
Privacy and Implementation
Weedout emphasizes user privacy, stating that it does not require accounts, tracking, or data collection. All processing and filtering occur locally on the user's Mac. The tool specifically targets videos with YouTube's AI disclosure, and does not attempt to identify unlabeled AI-generated content.
