Nowadays most of internet (from YouTube and TikTok to even images search in regular search engines) flooded with useless AI generated texts, videos, images etc.
Is there any tool to filter them out of my view?
At least DuckDuckGo has an option to unlist AI content.
And with Kagis options you can achieve the same.
For other things outside the search engine, I don’t think there is something.

Can’t block or hide from Youtube as the algortihm isn’t customisable in any way. Youtube always decides what shows up, and so far they haven’t done any spectrumwide filtering for AI within their algorithm. As long as it makes their investors happy, they don’t care.
TikTok is the same, there is no corporate incentive for it yet to put that in their algorithm.
You’d have to start blocking algorithmic suggestions all togheter using extensions or alternative clients. And then you can shape your feed by only subscribing to creators that you know are against the use of AI. This principle of choosing to only watch a feed of your chosen content is called federation, and it’s something I’d suggest you look into.
DuckDuckGo is exceptional here with their blocking options, with an option to mitigate the AI stuff in image search.
You can even add https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ for no summaries and AI chat button.

yup good recommendation is: noai.duckduckgo.com with being able to have the option to hide AI on images, as @lightingtoaster also stated.
as for SEO, Youtube, TikTok, not much can be done and I doubt there’s any extension or filters with uBlock/Brave to do so, however it could be possible for me to start maintaining a list of AI generated videos/slop/SEO Slop on those platforms that can be utilized on something like uBlock/Brave/Adguard custom filters and it’s a community curated one where they find them and add it to the filter unless there is already one. I’ll make my research with documentation if that’s a thing the community wants to see.
That will be a HUGE help. If you ever need help, I can help you!
I think there’s an AI blocklist in one fork of uBO, which can be added to uBO as a custom filter list.
I’d have to find it and link it in an edit.
Edit: I knew I’d find it. It’s this: The Huge AI Blocklist
That’s a good base to start off indeed but yeah does not block videos from showing though also seems the search engine one is limited to DuckDuckGo/Bing. So a separated list is deserved and it can basically act as a database of AI Slops. A good base to start off nonetheless for the search engine part but the rest needs a uBlock filter on my own (that again acts a database of AI SEO Junk or General Slop), I’m seeing if there’s interest in order to be worth investing in, I see a little so far but idk
Edit: I’ve decided to do it, I’m calling it SlopBlocker (github mirror)
