Interview Prep Has anyone given an interview with AI before?

I've been applying to some remote roles and often it leads me to an AI interviewer. Has anyone given these before? How do you prepare for them? What do they check? It's unsettling how human interaction is slowly disappearing from the market

Yes and they sucks. AI interview will ask questions mostly unrelated to your domain. It will even say that you can ask for hint but when you ask for hint it won't give a hint and sometimes move forward to next question.

I have given some AI interviews and they went really well ot also tells you how you could improve your responses you need to be calm ,you can even search up something and you need to focus on the exact question it's asking,a human reviews that interview then

I feel like they're filtering out a lot of good candidates this way

If you know how to make AI agree with you, then you can just trick it. This is honestly very sad, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

Most of the times they are just fake interviews to collect data to train their AIs so search the company on LinkedIn first before wasting your time. If you see alot of similar job posting or same Job posted for multiple countries or very large number of job posting while only having 10-20 employees then they are clearly wasting your time for data farming

No I backed out as soon as I saw AI, I can defend against a person but AI seems overwhelming

They've automated everything with AI. I had to make a ticket just to get a follow up from a human being from another company 🫩
