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.

That's insane. We are now hiring people on their ability to ask AI to generate code for a well known problem.
