In English, there is a saying “fake it ’till you make it”. In the modern world, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to make yourself look smarter during interviews is becoming increasingly common. In the case of Chungin “Roy” Lee, he offered a cheating service called Interview Coder until he was suspended by Columbia University after it was used by customers to cheat on interviews.
Usually, after being punished, offenders learn from their mistakes and repent. But Roy Lee has launched Cluely as a service to cheat on everything. The startup has just received funding from several investors to further expand its offering. It can be used to cheat on exams, job interviews, Zoom calls and more by displaying it on a screen that only the user can see.
Although it is a cheating software, Cluely sees their service as an auxiliary tool like calculators, spell checkers and Google that can help users become smarter in their daily lives.
In situations like this, employers may have to take drastic steps to return to face-to-face interviews with all types of smart devices or smart glasses banned.
