#2why does chatGPT passing tests or interviews continue to make headlines?
all they're proving is that tests, and interviews, are bullshit constructs that merely attempt to evaluate someone's ability to retain and regurgitate information

#3Will humanity finally be liberated from memorization? Forcing school children to memorize and then regurgitate facts is barbaric, and so is using it as a measure in hiring.

#4If it's just filling out the hiring committee packet by itself then it has a big advantage. I think many humans could get an advantage if we got 45 minutes in private to type out solutions and submit it ourselves instead of performing live and relying on the interviewers judgment

#5So, a LLM, trained extensively on StackOverflow and other data (possibly the plethora of LC solutions out there), is fed a bunch of LC questions and spits out the correct solutions? In other news, water is blue.
It is one thing to train an AI on megatons of data, for questions which have solutions. The day ChatGPT can build a highly scalable system from scratch, or an ultra-low latency trading system that beats the competition, or find bugs in the Linux kernel and solve them; then I will worry.
Till then, these headlines are advertising for Open AI, for people who don't understand software or systems, or are trash engineers. The rest of us aren't going to care that much.

It will, since there will be no job for you to interview or memorize for.

#7That's odd because when I gave ChatGPT my icebreaker interview question that I used a lot at Google it fell right on its face. And this is a question I expect teenagers to ace in one minute.

While I agree with this sentiment, I think we should be careful assuming that our jobs as knowledge workers are much more than “retaining and regurgitating information”. Even the emotional intelligence and organizational strategy portions of what we do may boil down to this as well.

#9I asked ChatGPT the question I had and it could not answer. (L3 googler.)

Maybe it passed 1 out of 1000 interviews
