Imagine that your reputation didn't matter, getting sued was out of the question, and there was no criminal liability: your job, backed by the government, is to be employed by as many tech firms for as long as you can, you'd probably work pretty hard on coming up with a reasonable but very good resume and work hard on how to interview well. Now, you're a professional interviewer and might conduct 10x-100x more interviews than your average dev, and have a network of people helping you optimize your cheating.

Given that background, I personally find it unsurprising that they're having success and AI tools are just making it that much easier

Absolutely damning of the tech industry’s interviewing and recruiting process if companies can’t distinguish between a “professional interviewer” (regardless of their nationality) and an actually talented candidate who does one interview a year or so.

I think professional interviewees have more time honing their craft than people that are conducting interviews. It's IMO a similar attacker/defender mechanic as we see in security. Attackers have the upperhand in most cases as they only need to find one or few vulnerabilities on presumably a gargantuan attack surface.
