Apparently Ad Blockers are not allowed on Youtube. Is this a new thing they've implemented?
For the note there is NeuralBlock, which is an experimental AI that uses SponsorBlock's dataset.

[Other] Who... who tf looks at a video that is 13 years old and marks the opening and ending parts? God bless you for such work. Every video is marked man this is great!
There is already a neural network that uses Sponsorblock as training data!

Blocking Unwanted YouTube Video Segments
Check out https://ai.neuralblock.app/
All the data is public, so anyone can try!
I still think this will remain human-made for the foreseeable future, as an AI will probably never be able to make the millisecond-precise segments that it currenty has
-
Suggestion: An AI could read the auto generated captions and determine when there is a interaction reminder/intro etc and automatically submit it.
It is already being done (for sponsor) https://github.com/andrewzlee/NeuralBlock , but automatically submitting it would be a bad idea ( risk of error and the timings aren't very good).

Chrome's next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates
So, for most of the history of advertising, you didn't have a choice. Advertising was a part of someone else's property that would ambush[0] you before you could even ignore it. Internet advertising is an outlier in that it happens on your property. You ask for a web page, the web site sends back the page with a bunch of JavaScript that tries to run an ad auction on your computer, then your browser extensions delete the JavaScript, then another bit of JavaScript sent by the web site detects this and deletes the content, except no because your extension also defeated the antitamper script, except no because the web site legally threatened your ad blocker with billions of dollars in litigation for breaking the "don't rip DVDs" law.
I'm not kidding about that, BTW[1][2][3]. There is a silent and ongoing effort by everyone - including ad companies - to appropriate your physical property with their intellectual property[4]. You see, on the totem pole of capitalist legitimacy, physical ownership is actually really weak. There's all sorts of government-granted monopolies that can be traded like property[5], but let you bulldoze lesser ownership over physical objects. You might own your computer, but I own the content, so I own your computer for as long as my content is somewhere on it.
Talking about fundamental rights is interesting. Right now, at least in the US, people have a fundamental right to advertise - it's called the 1st Amendment. We can't even have functional campaign contribution laws because SCOTUS demands that billionaires have a god-given right to spend their billions shouting over everyone else in campaign ads. Several other fundamental rights mean you have the right to ignore shouty ads, but you don't have the right to shut the advertisers up. Likewise, the right to refuse ad exposure online is implied by the fact that the website runs on your computer. But other rights - such as the right to control copies of your speech - can negate that same implication.
Anyway, this is why I think we should bring back the Boston Strangler[6]. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
[0] This is separate from the concept of "ambush marketing" where you try to ride another marketer's coat tails as close as possible without violating trademark law, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambush_marketing

[4] Shut up Stallman, you know what it really means. - Not Cory Doctorow
[5] I'm afraid to call them property because if I do that means the Takings clause applies and we can't ever roll back the life+70 insanity that Berne, Germany, and the EU foisted on us.
