And yet, they won't like it if aspiring SDEs use AI to "assist" when interviewing :D

Just yesterday had a coding interview (not any FAANG) and the interviewer wanted a screen share and also checked my IDE settings to make sure "AI" was turned off.

Not that I intended to or even intend to use LLM based tooling for interviews.

Although having said that, if I intended to, interviewers won't find out. Interviews should always be done in person. (That took a different tangent... sorry)
