> "Type the question into ChatGPT and do what it says" is not the "how" that companies are looking for.

Then interviewers should stop setting tasks that require either a) copy and paste answer from leetcode or b) copy and paste answer from chatgpt.

Unfortunately that requires skill and awareness on behalf of the interviewers; who typically served in the leetcode wars and want their employees to go through the same.

After about three interviews it ended up on Leetcode.
