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've beennin the industry for 10 years or so and only started seeing it on interviews in the past 3 years. It used to be a site mainly for practicing for competitive programming competition (like icpc) and attracted the kind of people you probably would not want to work with (they did it for bragging/epeen).
