You can use uBlacklist with a list of AI websites to filter out a ton of crap in search results. It's good for blocking out AI slop websites but probably won't be too effective for individual YouTube videos.
There is this blocklist:

I can advise anyone to install DeArrow.
Instead of having every thumbnail screaming at me, YouTube is now much calmer in general. Even the clickbait titles are replaced by crowdsourced alternatives.
No more "TOP 5 Reasons Why You SHOULD use/not use something ❌❌/✅✅", but "review of something" instead.

Kagi has an LLM community register they automatically use to filter their results
Youtube is pretty much unusable now, more than half the videos are low effort Ai slop, and the rest is just irrelevant, leaving the real content buried deep down in the algorithm.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I don't use an YouTube account and haven't used for years for privacy reasons. I'm mostly speaking about using the search function without an account.

“It seemed to me,” said Wonko the Sane, “that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane.”
I did not need the information in this video, but it's only a matter of time before helpful guides are overwhelmed with this shit
That really paints a dark future
I wonder if sponsor skip's database can be repurposed to include ai slop publishers

Ironically you need AI to detect AI output in the content offered to you and to block it. Though in theory some heuristics for the visuals in the thumbnails could work.
But how do I verify my email on Reddit?
replies:
I don't see anything like this in search, even DuckDuck.
What do you have on that you see this? (Or what have I turned off?)
I do use Ublock and Noscript, but they don't list anything to block on search engines, really.
Kagi.
It’s not perfect and it’s not free for unlimited use, but I think it’s worth paying for.
It doesn’t feel as dated as Duck Duck Go feels to me. It kinda feels like using Google without the enshitification that google has gone through.
I like the option to filter results. Here’s an image of some filter options:
I also did a search for the term “verify email” like in the OP. I did not see nearly as many AI video results. At least not as many obvious AI results.
It’s not perfect tho and it’s hard to escape AI slop.
Interestingly, Kagi has an option to filter out AI videos in the result, but I felt like changing that gave me more AI results than without it.
However, searching with and without, the first ten results did not appear to be AI. After the tenth option, most options were AI regardless of the filter settings.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

If you remove LLM slop will there be anything left?
Pay for Kagi. You want free? Ads and AI slop is the price for it. You want quality human shit? Pay for kagi
