Nothing I hire for requires someone to do the World’s Most Challenging ™ life or death problems under pressure from memory. I think that’s true for the vast majority of tech companies. If I need someone to wire up a database to a react interface, or write some cron scripts, or refactor an old nodejs codebase, that is all stuff that chatgpt would be a great tool to use. I don’t care whether they’re doing it from memory or not. |

That's a bit of a strawman: I didn't say anything about the ease/difficulty of the role being filled, and I implied rote memorization was not meaningful.
To reiterate, interviews should measure good data for choosing between candidates.
That's not happening when the given problem is solve-able by an LLM using a human as a proxy, everybody's just burning man-hours of company/applicant time on interview-theater that isn't useful for making a decision. (Well, not unless the hiring goals include "willingness to jump through hoops".)
