Always on video or in person interviews would become the norm.
Otherwise, it would be too easy to cheat by feeding the questions to ChatGPT.

Isn't this already the norm?
I would immediately reject a candidate who didn't want to turn their video on.
I wouldn't even continue the interview, honestly.

When interviewing with [commercial serverless platform], I was offered to not turn the camera on and use voice chat only. And well, I know a lot of shy/depressed folks who would’ve appreciated this offering (including myself circa four years ago).
It might sound silly, but for some the hardest thing about video interviews are not the technical questions, but the interaction via webcam. :D

This is already the norm. Even with “on video”, I sometimes catch people cheating. I’ve seen fiddling then pasting the first answer from google, and reading from a second monitor as someone types the answers for them. I’ve heard stories of people showing up in person, after a hire, with completely different voices and personalities.

when I am focusing, I tend to fix on a blank spot on the wall and just stare at it while coming up with a response.

And, I'm sure you would be able to explain your answer, rather than going from not being able to understand the question, to quickly typing the answer, and back to not comprehending what you, yourself, wrote, as was the case with my cheaters. :)
I do wonder how many interviewers would end up asking if the candidate is hallucinating thanks to ChatGPT.
pretty cool idea
ChatGPT is very good at interview prep, hallucination is much less of an issue when it's being asked to come up with questions rather than answers.
You can also very easily iterate on your responses with chatGPT pointing out deficiencies along the way.
