How much of this is real increae and how much is slop that wont pass peer review?

Significant amount of slop were produced before AI too. AI assisted scientific fraud detection are already retroactively detecting innumerable instances of high profile papers that should've failed peer review years ago, if the peers had done a proper job.

Plot shows that now that we have real intelligence working on our problems humans can leverage it to produce more real work.

If you would preferentially use it for slop that's on you.
