I failed a remote technical interview by writing a bad abstraction and mudding myself with it.
After the interview I rewrote the code, and sent an email with it and a well written apology.
The company thought the email and the code was chatgpt! I am still not sure how I feel about that.
Wow I am not looking forward to that in my future interviews. At least showing atomic little micro commits should probably give potential employers a view into your thought process?
Although what am I saying, my current employer keeps pushing us to use AI tooling in our workflows, so I wonder how many employers will really care by then.
I personally don't like using AI - I feel like it takes the fun out of work, and I have ethical issues with it. But I have many co-workers who do not feel this way.

I think you might have missed a big-old .303 bullet there. If a company isn't able to recognise the value of going back and correcting your mistakes, even with the help of LLMs, it doesn't sound like a very nice working environment.
I feel the same way.
I'm sure some corners of the internet have incrementally more spam, but things like SEO spam word mixers and blog spam have been around for a decade. ChatGPT didn't appreciably change that for me.
I have, however, been accused of being ChatGPT on Reddit when I took the time to wrong out long comments on subjects I was familiar with. The more unpopular my comment, the more likely someone is to accuse me of being ChatGPT. Ironically, writing thoughtful posts with good structure triggers some people to think content is ChatGPT.
