I think the best interview question, and really the only one you need to determine technical ability is ask someone to describe a http request in as much detail as possible.

To write code (even with the benefit of AI) effectively you need a mental model of the systems you work with, reading the chatGPT response doesn't prove you have that.

That's a stupid interview question for the vast majority of software jobs. Many people don't work with HTTP or web software at all.

So replace it with something from the relevant field.
