Comment on Ask HN: How do you deal with obvious AI assistant usage in interviews

Comments

Just to clarify - i should have said this originally - it's not about the use of Cursor or Claude at all. I mean that they were using something that was listening to the conversation, and then automatically spitting out something for the candidate to say. I'm all for the tools and yes, it's an expectation that you will be not just familiar with, but a power user of tools like Cursor and Claude. I object only to what seems like "cheatware" for the whole process of the interview.

Candidates are also not themselves in these scenarios - IRL interviews show that immediately.
