The rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT may lead to job candidates using them to cheat their way through coding rounds of tech job interviews. In an experiment conducted by interviewing.io, it was found that interviewers couldn't tell if a candidate had used ChatGPT to answer interview questions. However, the effectiveness of ChatGPT varied depending on the uniqueness of the coding problems. While major tech companies are using AI tools internally, jobseekers are expected to solve problems on their own during interviews.
