I was interviewing a candidate a couple of months ago, and as part of the assessment they were required to write a bat and ball game in Javascript, in advance of the interview.We would go through the code during the interview and I would ask them how it might be modified / extended in various ways. This candidate produced a reasonable, functional bat and ball game in a couple of pages of Javascript code, and I had high hopes for the interview. But as soon as I tried to delve into the code with the candidate, it became clear they had no idea what half of it was doing. I suppose they got chatGPT to write it for them, or something. Was disappointed and vaguely annoyed to have wasted my time.
