Could candidates opt out of using ChatGPT? I don’t think I’d be comfortable using it in an interview.

Sure, why not, I'm just thinking out loud to be honest and am probably biased towards feeling quite comfortable using something like ChatGPT. I don't ask ChatGPT to write code for me but regularly use it to explore, a bit like a rubber duck that talks back.

Just curious - why would you not feel comfortable using it in an interview? Interesting to hear a different POV.

It’s a little overwhelming given the time constraints. I don’t know how I would fare trying to juggle a conversation with the interviewer, a conversation with ChatGPT, and typing into a code editor all at the same time, especially when ChatGPT usage involves vetting the output for hallucinations or misunderstandings. A search engine would be much quicker and easier for me to use.
