YouTube videos are already infested with insufferable AI elevator background "music". Even some channels that were previously good are using it.
On the bright side, you can stop watching these channels and have more time for serious things.

What are some examples? I haven't encountered this.
Almost all of the results will not consist of 'jazz' in any real sense, but instead a collection of uncanny melodies and chord progressions that wonder around going nowhere, traditionally accompanied by an obscenely eye-offending diffusion model-generated mishmash of seasonal tropes and incongruent interior design choices. Often, it's MIDI bossa nova presumably written by either a machine or someone who's only ever heard a few bars of music at a time and has no idea that 'feel' or 'soul' are a thing.
Because when I search "jazz" on YT I'm just getting legit music videos and jazz playlists -- stuff like Norah Jones, top 100 jazz classics playlists, etc.
But I assume that search results are personalized.
Sure. I just tried in private browsing mode, and got mostly the same. Here are a few of the very first results I get for 'jazz':

Some are worse than others.
I'm not sure all (or any) of it actually is AI though. I assume that's coming very soon, but I suspect this stuff is cynically and methodically hand-composed.
By the way: I have nothing against generative composition! Brian Eno has been doing this stuff longer than anyone else, and it's very cool. I'm sure you could make some 'generative jazz' that's actually distinctive and artistic, but this isn't it.
Nor for that matter Mozart, who wrote simple algorithmic compositions powered by dice. These were common musical games in his day.
