I'm not arguing to let people cheat with AI. I'm saying asking people to write code in interviews is useless.

It's not useless because some people will lie and cheat. Over the years, I've interviewed hundreds of people and a substantial minority could not write even the simplest code. Many will say they would be able to filter out such people after a conversation. But, IMO, the fact that they are still able to get hired at some places shows how wrong that often is.

I am making the parallel because I feel exams and interviews share some similarities.
