I must have expressed myself incorrectly. Generating coding problems automatically with ChatGPT doesn't mean you just throw whatever to the candidates. You can both auto generate AND curate. The part I'm against it is manually creating problems.
There are several reasons for this. One of the biggest problems with FAANG interviewing is that questions get leaked almost instantly. I spent days creating a brand new original problem, and it got leaked by the second time I asked it. ChatGPT gives you a unique problem for each candidate.
There is also the angle of leaning in the tech. I would encourage candidates to use any means to review the code as they would in the workplace, including IDE, web search, and LLMs. If these tools are going to revolutionize the way we work, I want to see how well people can use them.
Lastly I'm also intrigued by the dynamics of this kind of interview. As an interviewer I have asked the same question 50 times and I have seen all variations of answers. But what if the problem is relatively new to me? This seems closer to a pair programming exercise with two colleagues working together to solve a problem.
