I once concluded an interview with a candidate who was rather conspicuously engaged in clandestine typing, subsequently rectifying their previously incorrect answers. I suspected they were resorting to Google, given this was before ChatGPT came out. Much to my surprise, they ended up landing the job.

They got hired even though you said "no"? That sounds extremely unusual, typically employers of SDE types are cautious this way.

I don't know what exactly happened there. The two of us conducting the interview advised against this candidate in our report. About a month later the candidate was introduced as a new hire on a different team and I never saw them again in a company of <100 people.

Arguably if someone can google the “answers” to your interview questions in 20 seconds they aren’t good questions to ask anyway.

And if someone's ability to answer questions using search tools in real time is sufficient to impress a series of interviewers, they're probably quite resourceful at finding solutions to problems they've been given a few hours to solve
