Most recently, I've even had interviewers ask me questions straight from Leetcode, who are unable to code the solution themselves.
For instance, for one problem I was given in this way, I had one small logic implementation bug, about one line off that was ruining the output of the algorithm.
My interviewer went, "here, I'll just copy it from them." and pasted, presumably, a solution from Leetcode/wherever they got the problem from.
At the very least if you're going to ask a LC problem (or any problem, really) you should be able solve it yourself; this way if the candidate is mostly on the right track except for a bug here or there it gives you a real world chance to debug it with them and further evaluate their communication and collaboration skills.
Of course, so far in my recent set of interviews it never works that way.
