What's the point of interviewing candidates when they're parroting whatever an AI tells them?

It was hard to get signal before, and with tools like this it'll be even harder. If these systems are any good (big if) it'll be neigh impossible.

There's a point to having skill in an AI (and search engine) world.

It's hard to get a goddamn job. It's hard to pass ridiculous interviews that end up having little to do with the job you do.

In my view this evens the playing field just a little.

If it's any good it's an unfair advantage to the cheaters using it, putting those with integrity at a disadvantage.

If a candidate is simply regurgitating AI-generated answers without genuine understanding, a skilled interviewer will see right through it. It's like trying to pass off a memorized speech as genuine conversation - the lack of depth and authenticity will be evident.

On the other hand, some candidates possess deep technical skills but lack the confidence to articulate them effectively, especially in high-pressure situations. AI assistance can level the playing field for candidates who might otherwise struggle to showcase their true abilities.
