So this guy wrote a program that uses AI to read the black blocks in the Epstein Files, but his video is gone and his Youtube account is too.
Here's the Github with the program, but I don't think it's going to long survive the Youtube channel.

And here's someone else using it.

No it does not.
"It does not reveal hidden text. It produces a ranked list of candidates — some may be correct, many won't be." -- README
It's a glorified Markov chain text generator.

Wtf is this, are you people stupid? In the first days of release there were dozens of videos showing how you can just read behind black blocks with literally standard copy paste without any kind of guessing, because those blocks were just overlays and actual text was still there behind them.

Only for the first batch of release. The second batch had stuff blacked out for real. It's pretty badly done though, and you can guess stuff from under/over hanging letters.
There was someone else trying to recover files that weren't censored in email attachments (printed as b64, but needing OCR)

Looks Familiar? Is it coincidence?
