While I'm personally not keen on LLMs, I admit I do have the co-pilot extension installed in Visual Studio and have been pleasantly surprised at how tab-completion is working. It seems effective for small blocks of code.

So, remembering that I not really a fan when I ask this... but why do you care if a candidate uses an LLM or Google as part of your interview? Do you care if they use an IDE or if they use a code completion plugin? In the end, do you not really want to evaluate if the candidate can produce good clean code?

If you feel like an LLM is too big a crutch, is that because what you wanted to test was memorization of a framework or a test of thought and workflow strategies?

To quote a resource I'm also not keen on but understand why it exists, does your concern about chatGPT during interviews actually point out an XY problem?
