> Then there’s the pacing. A human pauses to think. AI-assisted candidates pause to receive a perfect answer. You can mostly feel the rhythm shift. Their eyes drift slightly. You think we don’t see that, don’t you?

I really hope most interviewers have at least the barebones skills to be able to discern AI-using interviewees, like what the author claims to have. I'm trying to get hired at the junior level, and the thought of competing with people who have no qualms with effectively cheating in real time is pretty scary. I'm human, I will inevitably not know something or make minor missteps - someone with an AI or a quick-witted friend by their side can spit out perfect, fully-rounded, flawless, HR-optimized stories and replies with a satisfying conclusion for the behavioral questions, and basically always-correct, optimal solutions for the technical questions.
