Re:Interviewing a software engineer who prepared with AI on Tuesday April 08, 2025 @07:56AM (#43620636)
"Preparing with AI" sounds like an issue here, and it's not. The issue is lying about your experiences, which people have done since the beginning of time. I "prepare with AI" by having it help give me hints when doing leetcode problems, which is very helpful. Interviewing is not a presentation, it's a conversation, and having a simulated other side can be helpful.

This shouldn't be surreal at all. A candidate just wasn't able to make up relevant experiences on the spot.
