Weedout is a Safari extension for macOS priced at $1.99. It hides videos that YouTube has labeled as "Made with AI" from feeds, search results, related videos, playlists, and Shorts.
The tool does not use AI detection technology; instead, it operates locally by relying on YouTube's own labels. Videos without such labels are not affected.
The developer stated that the motivation for development was the fact that AI-generated conspiracy theory videos had flooded their own YouTube feed. The source code is available on GitHub and is provided for independent forking. The developer stated that pull requests will not be accepted.
