Ask HN: How do you deal with obvious AI assistant usage in interviews
Summary not yet generated for this article.
Original Text
I've been interviewing for technical candidates in my current role, and I'm seeing what I believe is a relatively high rate of AI assistants/overlays during interviews. The role I'm hiring for is a Sr. Release Engineer, and even (what appear to be) qualified candidates are showing up obviously reading from prompts. I say obviously for two reasons:
1. I can SEE them reading. Their eyes go back and forth, and it's clear they are reading.
2. They NEVER stop talking. Normally getting answers out of engineers requires a legitimate question with a sound purpose. I'm getting _immediate_ answers with well thought out, multi-point rationale.
So...I'm rejecting all of those candidates the instant I detect it. How are everyone else doing this?
