Open ended questions like generating ideas was the "Culture Fit" session (and if it wasnt or the company doesnt realise it is then it is an even bigger problem)

Culture fit is a funny thing. I was set up for an interview and one of the things was a take-home tic tac toe.

I asked "uh, what's the point when I can just ask ChatGPT to do this? Is there something else I could be doing?" And I was instantly dinged because I didn't align with their culture. Which I guess is true, since I'm not into time-wasting questions that aren't even fun.

Or rather, you're not into "following orders without challenging them first". What the order is, doesn't really matter.
