That's not a great analogy: you can't do the job with your buddy; whereas some interviewers are ok with, and even expect you to, use GenAI on the job daily. Depends on the interviewer and job expectations.

A better analogy is an interview where you can use a calculator (and not be detected). If the interviewer were only to ask you simple arithmetic questions with numeric answers then sure you'd seem to do well. So interviewers adjust to not doing that.

> you can't do the job with your buddy

I mean, why not? Me and my buddy are a team, hire us both or none of us. Split the salary if you must.

Sure, and also split the dental and other benefits, vacations, and share one building fob, parking pass, cubicle and computer. Also, split the food at the company dinner. :)

That's called contracting out and it's fine in this way - and so would be use of GPT, in that way and not to beat the interview.
