Shouldn't a portfolio of personal projects be enough ? In the past couple years I:

- adapted Java's Regex engine to work on streams of characters

- wrote a basic parametric geometry engine

- wrote a debugger for an async framework

- did innovative work with respect to whole-codebase transformation using macros

Among other things.

As for ChatGPT in the context of an interview, I'd only use it if I were asked to do changes on a codebase I don't know in limited time.
