if you take a coding interview and answer the question by feeding it into GPT-3, does that mean you pass the interview? it must do really well since all it takes is memorizing the solutions to a large body of meaningless challenges.
the implication here is that if GPT-3 can solve your coding question, you are hiring people good at memorizing solutions and not skillfull engineers.

How is that any different than what it is now? Moreover, this type of rote learning is what has been rewarded most in most academic examination processes; SAT prep tests are doing exactly that: cramming students in order learn the exam process and deductive reasoning via multiple choice by taking many test exams. Honestly, the only tech job I have ever received was extended to me because I was headhunted while working on my startup so my POV vastly differs from most with how on-boarding should go, and every time I see this white-boarding non-sense is the norm in the interview process it make me wonder what exactly it's trying to achieve if not just gate-keep and subject people to the same hazing process the hiring managers and project leads went through when they joined: people just say they'll just grind on leetcode rather than build something useful as this is the main barrier of entry and it dissapoints me so much that it's just been normalized over the years.
