Ask HN: People are cheating in Job Interviews using my app. Am I in trouble?

Hello HN. I built a chatGPT-based app that can transcribe the interviewer's voice and prompts a response when it's the interviewee's turn to speak. Is this illegal?

you are a hero. if enough people use it hopefully it will end this bullshit coding interviews and those with experience will actually get hired.

I feel exactly the same about the interviews.

IANAL, but isn't that considered recording? If so, does two-party consent law come into play?

There seem like lots of legal uses for that app. "Customer service rep support" is a non-shady use case and in all honesty is probably far more monetizable than helping people cheat at interviews.

I don't think so. Just to be sure, spam the app with legal messages saying that this app should absolutely never ever be used to perform fraud during an actual interview.

Totally legal, it is the candidate who can be in trouble, but the tool maker cannot be liable unless the tool's purpose cannot be anything but illegal use.

I'm not sure I see how this could be illegal. It has a perfectly valid use - interviewees who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Maybe I'm naive or don't have a good enough mind for cheating, but I'm not sure I understand how you cheat at an interview with this. Because you can read the interviewer's question? How is that cheating?

Redirect the question to chat gpt, read the response aloud. I think that this was mentioned initially in the post but might be in error. Chat gpt is not necessary, as far as someone else is giving the answers.

haha I see what you did there. Nice way to validate product idea

nono I actually have built this and people are using it :)
