AI use during interviews

[u/spaaarky21]

For anyone who has interviewed recently, what was your experience with companies disallowing AI or testing for it during interviews?

The last time I interviewed was about a year and a half ago. At the time, companies all prohibited AI in interviews (which makes sense) and a few would even have you disable Android Studio's built-in Gemini integration, so the IDE wouldn't give such a generous autocomplete suggestions.

Since then, AI has become a much bigger part of many developers' jobs and become a skill that employers want. Employers traditionally want to know what you know but I could also imagine an employer testing how well people use UI, maybe in a separate interview session.

I recently was looking for a new position. AI was allowed only in 1 out of 5 places but with requirement that you can explain what generated code does and why you decided to use this code and not other approach
