What is up with the absolute slop from YC these days?(i will not promote)

Am I the only one noticing this trend of recent YC companies? Is it the AI boom thats causing this, or is it just that these slop machines are getting the bulk of the attention because they're so flashy. I have been noticing YC is heavily funding younger founder with little to no experience producing products that barely work, and absolutely do not hold up to what they show in their demos. Then when you visit their site, the links don't work, you can the see overly AI generated slop(cards upon cards), and zero respect to any design principles. There are even some companies that are outright frauds, their demo is not at all what they do or how they work, or they make claims like they have some proprietary AI model, when you can clearly tell its just some LLM wrapper.
