We can already automate leetcode interviews much more easily then why don't we do it? Because people cheat. U can ask your competitive coder friend or search google to get the answers. Similarly, here also friends can give the complete solutions even more easily. Heck there are sites dedicated to these kinds of services. This leads to following consequences:

1. In both automated leetcode and automated "coding" interviews, most people get full score. This even turns into a negative bias as an actual good candidate who did not cheat has greater chance of getting rejected here than the cheaters.

2. Interviewers put both automated leetcode and in-person leetcode to first filter out candidates, then put them through actual interview hoops. If your product succeeds, this means another layer of "interviewing" and more wastage of engineer's time.

Sorry to say this isn't solving any problem but has the potential to create more harm for both sides.
