How do you block them? I keep pressing "show fewer shorts" but they keep popping up and I can't find an option to block them entirely.
I just used block element in ublock origin. Haven't seen em since

Use this on Android:

Or this on Android or desktop:

I can't wait until AI video is good enough that you can input a book and it outputs a movie which is as faithful as you like to the original, you can change how all the characters look, etc
can you not do this in your head

Then I don't understand what your point is as a reply to my original comment. I said "no video you see can ever be believed again", and you reply with "well you can post your own videos on a self-hosted service". I don't see how that follows as a response to my original comment.
EDIT
I think you seem to be under the impression that ai videos are somehow locked onto only being on YouTube. That isn't the case. Anyone can go to any Veo ai generation site, write a prompt, and it'll generate a video of that in an mp4 file which they can upload to any video sharing platform. All mp4 files are the same thing, regardless of whether they were made by a video camera or ai.

I've been weaning myself off video content altogether, which I feel is the most surefire way to avoid AI video.
I feel like I'm going to turn into such a paranoid tin-foil-hat nutcase and just trust nothing I don't see with my own eyes... I mean I would be ok with that, it just sounds miserable.

I was reading old mates comment thinking... This dude is just describing reading a book.

I use the "Hide Shorts for YouTube" plugin on Firefox

In addition to what others have said, SmartTube has options to remove them on Android TV devices

Ublock + ff. in ublock select the eye dropper, move the eye dropper over the shorts section until you see the videos and the word shorts highlighted then click to block

Thanks! This seems to work.

YouTube shorts are cancer already. I've had them blocked ever since they appeared.
Is that opinion because you're on a phone? They're OK by me on a PC and big TV. OTOH, if I'm not logged in, the pure shit they shovel at me, yikes.

Never watched one, never will. Rarely watch YouTube either except the odd music video.

They're designed to keep people with poor impulse control caught in a constant loop of short garbage clips. A bigger screen is not going to change that.
Also I don't normally watch YouTube on my phone unless I'm travelling and when I do I use NewPipe.

Many people can't. It's called aphantasia. I still don't want AI-generated video anywhere near me.

I used to hate short form content in principle
but YT shorts actually shows me content from creators I like. sometimes I like browsing it, because some of that content is well suited to the format rather than dragging it out into a five minute video
what I fucking HATE is when YouTube opens up to the shorts page and just autoplays. it's inconsistent and idk why it does that
now, why the shorts format is here, and we can't just mix the short videos with the long ones in the same library... idk

Don't worry. The energy usage from this will significantly help warm the planet, so it will all soon be over.
