This isn't reddit. Please don't post cynical fantasies.

At my company we explicitly tell candidates what parts they can do with and without AI.

It’s not hypocritical like you seem to be implying. It’s seeing you still have a brain and can do the job with or without the tools. Otherwise we would just prompt AI ourselves…

So what? There’s only so much interview time, and you need the fundamentals before you can safely use LLMs to speed up.

IMO if you’re going to run an interview that uses coding agents etc it belongs at the end of an interview pipeline.
