Ask HN: Are you encountering AI-related questions in the hiring market?
Everyone's obsessed with AI these days, and a lot of programmers can't even code without it anymore. So I'm wondering — how do companies ask about AI usage during interviews

I just came out of an initial interview for a rather senior enterprise position. It was bad. It was bad in a sense that they really didn't know what to do. The senior manager (EVP level person) asked me about LLM for code generation. I told them about my aws kiro-cli experience. They literally asked me to sit down and show them how they can do it. I'm pretty sure they want me to back for another round.
This whole thing reminds me of when I was in school, showing old timers who to use MS Office and VBA.

Style 1: Question is so tough that you can only use AI to solve it. But for part to, you have to edit the code without AI.
Style 2: You are free to use any tool you like as long as you build this full app in an hour. Evaluation is that it works and that it follows appropriate architecture.
Style 3: You're given a dumber model, like Gemini Flash or Claude Haiku, and need to solve this problem.
