This is why I prefer live interviews. I tell them they can use whatever tools they want, search for anything they want, there are no restrictions. All I ask is that they share their entire screen (if not in person) and try to "think out loud" as much as possible. I then time-box each step (usually 15m ea in a 1-hour interview).
I am most interested in HOW they solve the challenges I set out for them. Whether they complete it or not is usually irrelevant.
Edit: Lately, though - I warn against AI. I don't ban it, but every person that has tried to use AI in an interview has gone down in flames. AI simply cannot be trusted... and if you haven't learned that lesson, and you can't even tell when it's giving you bad information... yikes.
Man live coding interviews sound like a nightmare to me.
It's not so bad once you've got your teeth into the problem
assuming you can code, that is
Can I interview with you lol - this sounds great!
I use ChatGPT sometimes to give me a pointer in what directions I could go/research more for a given problem. But if I ever take the code provided by it, I need to review it line by line and half the time it doesn't even compile anyway. At this point it's just a helper to suggest to me what to google for and then I do the rest😅
I approach interviews for penetration testing positions in the same way, just with hacking challenges!
