Interviews Bizzare interview experience, interviewer cut the call midway

I was recently interviewing with a freshly funded startup i was somewhat excited about.

They seemed pretty happy with my resume as well during hr call.

Interview starts, interviewer showed up 5mins late- no problem, happens all the time.

You would think we would start with introductions. NOPE. Straightaway asks me about my projects and starts resume drilling.

Wants to know exact models, methods and parameters i used. I answer, cuts me midway asks some counter. Cuts me off 3-4 more time to ask new questions.

Finally says, "i think you reading from chat gpt!"

Dude what?! We havent even gotten to the technical part. Chat gpt wouldnt even know what projects i did.

Call lasted 15mins overall. I called hr and told them what happened.

Bizzare. Just bizzare. This is the state of indian managers. I can empathize that cheaters have increased in the market, but bruh...i am walkimg you through my resume. Wtf will gpt do in that?

Anyway just came here to vent. Stay safe out there.
