at this point, it is not possible. Whatever you develop, the student can just use another phone /tablet to take a screenshot and upload it to llm to generate solution and then he/she can just type it out.

True, but if someone is smart enough to figure that out over just putting in code that doesn't work, they're at least trainable.

Most jobs are starting to push AI coding anyway. Your expected to use Chat GPT/copilot, but your ultimately responsible for understanding how that code works.

As long as they aren't literally stupid enough to try to open up another tab and just paste the code in, I would still look at someone typing in a solution they memorized/ got from an LLM as promising.

I don't really see a difference between a person who has the ability to read through cracking the coding interview, and memorize every solution, to regurgitate them, versus using an LLM.

And even if someone can pass your code exam that doesn't mean you have to interview them, I actually feel a bit weird because I had a code test recently, which I was able to pass. But since it was a very brute force solution, and I wasn't able to optimize it I guess they decided to not interview me.
