There's a particular genre of Youtube channels whose upload consist of music + a still image, usually in "anime style", sometime embellished with a little bit of Live2D animation or a waveform visualization. Channels like this used to be a good source for discovering new musicians and visual artists to follow, because if you liked a particular track or the picture that accompanied it you could check the video description and usually find proper artist credits, with links.
But recently a new crop of track-and-pic channels have been popping up in my Youtube feed, channels that serve up algorithmically generated slop rather than actual music. To add insult to injury, there's no artist credit to follow when the accompanying picture is particularly good -- even though everyone knows that to get the machine to spit out good pictures you have to instruct it to plagiarize the style of a specific human artist, operators of AI slop channels do not, as a rule, give credit to the humans they plagiarize by algorithmic proxy.
Naturally, I'd like to filter out the slop. Ideally something like SponsorBlock or DeArrow, a browser extension that automatically removes entries from my feed based a list of channels that users of the extension have determined to be full of slop. Plus an API that alternative Youtube clients (e.g. NewPipe, GrayJay, Invidious, yt-dlp) can use to access the same list.

As a stop-gap, the existing DeArrow extension can be used to edit titles of videos uploaded to such channels so that they explicitly disclose that the content is AI-generated. This is not ideal, because users would have to label each uploaded video individually rather than the channels as a whole, and channels like this can be more orders of magnitude more prolific than channels that source their content from actual humans.
... or so I thought, until I attempted to submit such an amended title to DeArrow's database. Then a checklist of submission guidelines popped up, one of which requires me to confirm that my proposed title "does not fact check [...] the creator". If I add an "AI-generated" label to a video who's uploader has deliberately chosen not to disclose their use of generative AI, this falls under "fact checking" and is forbidden by DeArrow's acceptable use policy.

Oh well. Back to the drawing board, then.
