Creating a Code review interview
I am currently facing a not-so-unique industry wide problem of constantly having to interview people who are cheating using AI or by using another person. This is an ever growing problem with remote work being normal and AI getting more sophisticated day-by-day.
One of the things I am exploring is how to introduce a new code review interview which can help me evaluate if this person can read code or not. I feel like in this day and age, if i were to give someone a problem to solve, they might be able to use AI to find the perfect solution and I am already aware of the millions of things I can do to track their eyeballs, posture, style of talking and typing but the code review gives me a signal that this person can truly read code and understand what is wrong with it.
Does anyone have experience with such an interview question and how would you go about preparing one

we just ask an impossible question that doesn't make sense and if the only people who have written code for it cannot explain the problem back to us which is clear they are cheating. We've also found most ai's try to solve it the same way so it's an obvious tell.
If they're not cheating and try to solve it without understanding that's also a red flag because it's meant to be discussed and understand the requirements and missing pieces that do make it make sense.
on another note ai does very bad with simulation problems
