It ain’t that easy, at least with uBlock Origin. The problem is that websites depend on many elements - ones that aren’t obvious to the human eye and experience. An AI could potentially analyze all of the content and to where it leads, then remove the undesirable elements, such as trackers. For example, when I am making a payment at an unfamiliar website, I wouldn’t know what services are key to a working transaction.
A fair bit of my browsing time is spent on figuring out how to not break a website with my adblocker - which is annoying, error prone, and not as effective as I would like.

I don’t know what websites you’re using, but default uBlock Origin works completely fine with all the websites I visit, and it doesn’t use AI. It just uses blocking rules.
