Can it block the ads on YouTube?
No, you have to read a text summary of at least two ads before it gives you a text summary of the video. And the text summary of the video is broken up with other text summaries of ads.
"Basketball player and genie, Shaquille O'Neil is holding a dominos pizza box and asking if you'd like to Shaqeronni your evening."
You’re joking but that’s possibly how this is gonna be monitized in the future. In the end it might just look like current day news articles with ads interspliced throughout.
So basically we're back to banner ads from the 1990s internet? Or even further back, newspaper ads?
Ublock Origin can. It's available for Firefox on Android. No similar options for iOS or TV apps that I know of, though.
I use UYouPlusExtra on iOS. Side loaded with SideStore (no jailbreak)
If TV uses android (for example fire stick) you can use https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube
Also not on iOS but android you have ReVanced: https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/blob/main/docs/README.md
With Android you also can use Firefox, where you can install uBO.
