Heres a better article on the technology: adguard.com/…/youtube-server-side-ad-insertion.ht…
It basically makes ad blockers as we use them not work by injecting the ads into the video itself. It will also make things like sponsor block/ublock origin/etc… not work. They are testing the waters as of now.

How did they work for cable TV?

Don’t worry, we’ll always be able to detect ads and block them. It’s by nature of an ad to be detectable.
