Ask HN: People are cheating in Job Interviews using my app. Am I in trouble?
Hello HN. I built a chatGPT-based app that can transcribe the interviewer's voice and prompts a response when it's the interviewee's turn to speak. Is this illegal?

- joshxyz 4y agoit isnt. time to make thqt cash register ring lol.
- badpun 4y agoI don't think so. Just to be sure, spam the app with legal messages saying that this app should absolutely never ever be used to perform fraud during an actual interview.
- gostsamo 4y agoTotally legal, it is the candidate who can be in trouble, but the tool maker cannot be liable unless the tool's purpose cannot be anything but illegal use.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoI'm not sure I see how this could be illegal. It has a perfectly valid use - interviewees who are deaf or hard of hearing. Maybe I'm naive or don't have a good enough mind for cheating, but I'm not sure I understand how you cheat at an interview with this. Because you can read the interviewer's question? How is that cheating?
- gostsamo 4y agoRedirect the question to chat gpt, read the response aloud. I think that this was mentioned initially in the post but might be in error. Chat gpt is not necessary, as far as someone else is giving the answers.
- gardenhedge 4y agoThere must be a better use case for an app like that!

- tetek 4y agohaha I see what you did there. Nice way to validate product idea
- m0dE 4y agonono I actually have built this and people are using it :)
- aynyc 4y agoIANAL, but isn't that considered recording? If so, does two-party consent law come into play?
- giaour 4y agoThere seem like lots of legal uses for that app. "Customer service rep support" is a non-shady use case and in all honesty is probably far more monetizable than helping people cheat at interviews.
- b20000 4y agoyou are a hero. if enough people use it hopefully it will end this bullshit coding interviews and those with experience will actually get hired.
- m0dE 4y agoI feel exactly the same about the interviews.
