This is functionally identical to having someone off-screen feeding you the answers.

Things like this will only make the interview process worse for applicants with even a shred of integrity. We need a "black book" for unethical developers.

Eh, I fed our whole question bank to ChatGPT a while back, and it solves the leetcode-like problems better than any real candidates have. Maybe it's time we stopped interviewing people this way...

Wow, incredible. I recently interviewed (as hiring manager) for 3 separate positions of varying seniority. Cheating is rampant now. I'd say at least 80% were using ChatGPT to lookup answers. One candidate had a 3rd party operate ChatGPT for her.

Do you support Codility?

Yes, the nice thing about it being a desktop app is that all interview platforms are supported - browsers are unable to detect these desktop apps due to inherent limitations. There's a bunch of competing services so it's likely your candidates were running something.

Dude, that's cheating!
