    Plugins can add controls and it can download videos, but plugins can't interact with videos directly I think.

    Maybe use the Youtube API closed captions and figure out the patterns for ads that way?

      Of course they can interact with it just fine, look at "sponsorblock" plug-in. It would also solve this problem completely. It already exists and works well, it just isn't "AI" nonsense.

        Yes, that is adding controls and using a database from the SponsorBlock server.

        What I mean is a plugin cannot see the video. Like you can't write

        if(screen == adScreen) {
             then skipToNextSegment();
        }
        

        The plugin isn't reading the video, it is getting info from a database. For AI or machine learning to work ad injection, which might change for every user, doing what SponsorBlock is doing is not enough.
