...So anyone who coded on their own, you'd just reject out of hand?

And (granting, for the moment, your premise that everyone worth hiring used the LLMs) how do you know what they do with the code after they take it from the chat window? My limited experience with the code from LLMs is that there's only so much massaging it's worth giving it through the chat interface, and then you need to just take it and edit it by hand.

I can see their commits presumably?

Only if the software they're working on is open-source.

Many, many software engineers work on internal programs that will never see a public repository.

		Well, if they have never released open source, they might not be the right developer for us. We don't have to chase after every type of person, we have specific needs. Having said that, if I was hiring for a big corporation, I'd still get a lot of information from how they interact with the LLMs, and I wouldn't want them to 'game it' a couple weeks in advance so I'd look for older entries. I love how LLMs for the first time give me a real way to assess what people have been doing. And can even use them to vet crazy ideas people send to me. Here is a real example that I did today, see what I mean: https://chatgpt.com/share/68b878b8-8608-800a-8b6a-6bac1af36e...
