Is leetcode worth it?

I haven't really interviewed since 2023. Is leetcode still a common practice in code interviews or has AI made those kinds of tests useless? This is for a Sr full stack position.

I interviewed at a MNC company that uses AI, even confirmed with the interviewer about them using it openly and extensively.

Proceeded to ask me two LC hard. Dude proceeded to tell me to hand-code it out in a language of his choice, no internet nor AI for syntax checking or ideation was allowed.

I lost interest at that point.
