Notably, that is a company that... adds AI to group chats. Startups offering crap salaries with a vague promise of equity in a vague product idea with no moat are a dime a dozen, and have been well before LLMs came around.
How did they get YC funding? It doesn’t seem like they have even a POC or any technical employees.
Have you seen the companies YC has been funding recently? All you need to do is mention AI and YC will throw some money your way. I don't know if you saw my first attempt at a post, but someone should suggest AI for HN comment formatting and I'm sure it will be funded.

Oh my god, this hilariously looks like it could have been LLM generated itself!

Wow, that's a lot of AI.
Do you think they're all using actual LLMs? I've got a natural language parser I could probably market as "AI Semantic Detection" even though it's all regular expressions
From what I’ve read, this is a consequence of applicants themselves concentrating on AI, which preceded their AI-filled batches. YC still has a very low acceptance rate, btw.
I have a confession to make, I was about to downvote you because I thought you just asked ChatGPT to come up with some ridiculous company concepts and copy and pasted.
Then I saw the sibling comment and searched a couple of company names and realized they were real.
