Do you let candidates use AI in interviews? It changes the emphasis: how they guide the tool, get results quickly, and show good taste becomes key. These skills are hard to codify into a rubric, so how do you assess them?

Coding interviews should be using ai. If you disagree you literally don’t understand what ai is for

Sure you can use it to fill gaps &amp; find easy answers

More importantly you can use it to accelerate and do much bigger things

Failing to select for this skill will ruin tech co’s

Honestly, at this point If you give me a programming interview and don't let me use AI assistance you won't get a very realistic idea of what I'm actually capable of

We started with read the f****** manual, then do the f****** Google, and now do the f****** AI search 

All those solutions are options for people to search, find knowledge, and apply it accordingly; therefore, they should be able to use it in any interview and job. 

A developer or an engineer is a person who searches for solutions and applies them accordingly to solve the issue at hand. Thus, it should be fine to let them use AI.
