For junior level candidates, I'll admit that ChatGPT might make it harder to interview.
For senior+ candidates I honestly think the correct approach is to just lean into it though.
Encourage them to use ChatGPT at the outset, and select questions that you've already fed to the prompt. When you ask them the question, you can show them ChatGPT's output on a screenshare. The candidate can then talk you through what they like about the answer, as well as where it falls short.
A senior-level developer should almost always be capable of improving on any response given by ChatGPT, even when it gives a good solution.
And if they're not able to give better output than the current AI tooling, it's a pretty good signal that you'd be better off just using LLMs yourself instead of hiring them.
