Cheating leetcode interviews with AI doesn't seem that innovative to me, just adding dishonesty to a broken practice. Destruction is always easier than creation.

Also, as someone who frequently designs and runs SW interviews, it's totally possible to run interviews that test actually important SW skills like OO design, error handling, and using APIs, which AIs still fail handily.

If you want to do something cool, make an AI to refactor your codebase for maintainability and security.

You seem completely detached from the grueling experience of being interviewed, so it's unsurprising that you don't understand why somebody would want to burn this whole thing down.

I do do interviews too. It's a lot of time and work. A well designed interview can and should be a realistic, rewarding problem solving session where you get to try out collaboration with potential colleagues.
