My understanding is that these questions are a proxy for intelligence, and they were asked because Google and the like want smart employees.
If that's why you're asking these questions, than testing using agents in the interview process doesn't make sense, because:
1. If you're hiring smart people, you can probably teach them how to use agents. (training someone to use agents isn't very hard)
2. If someone is smarter, you might in general expect them to be more capable of finding bugs in AI code.

It's not a direct translation. > finding bugs in AI code I think this would be a better proxy for job performance than DS&A.
