This is one of the recent ones that I came across - https://x.com/ycombinator/status/1988366241460089118
Of late it looks like I've been noticing more of such pointless businesses and I'm not alone. What do you think?
Someone somewhere made this sheet of YCs s24 companies.

I found a few of the companies that YC invests in have two non technical founders looking for a “founding engineer” to build their product who they were going to pay $150K to and “equity”.
I guess there are people that gullible?
"Why does Y Combinator seem to be consistently funding AI slop?"
Because everyone is funding AI slop.
The example you gave is more about AI workflow management vs actual slop. It's a slop enabler.
Same reason they funded Web3/crypto/NFT crap. Investors’ greatest fear is missing out.
