Chungin "Roy" Lee, a sophomore in the computer science department at Columbia University, recently deceived four global technology giants for creating his own online interview cheating AI tool, won the interview offer, and quickly became popular on the Internet, he made the process public, and was suspended from school, but he did not plan to return to campus, but chose to invest in entrepreneurship, and his monthly subscription income for AI tools has reached $170,000. (Synopsis: Bill Gates: AI replacing humans in 10 years, working two days a week is not a dream, three professions or surviving) (Background supplement: ecology is king, why ChatGPT may be desperate in the AI competition? According to NBC, Chungin "Roy" Lee, a 21-year-old sophomore in the computer science department at Columbia University, became popular on the Internet because he successfully deceived four global technology giants by creating his own desktop AI tool Interview Coder, which was used to answer program questions in interviews with technology companies without being noticed. Lee said the app took only four days to complete, allowing users to screenshot questions without being detected by the browser, and then using AI to process the images in real time and provide answers, through which he was admitted to internships at Amazon, Capital One, Meta, and TikTok. Lee pointed out that after he rejected Amazon's offer and disclosed online that he used AI tools to pass the interview, other companies also withdrew their acceptance notices, and he opened a live YouTube broadcast in February this year to announce that "I used AI to pass the Amazon interview", which was removed because Amazon proposed copyright violations, and the video has been viewed about 100,000 times before it was removed. Columbia University initiated disciplinary proceedings and eventually imposed a one-year suspension, but Lee said he was not worried about whether he would be "cut off" in the academic or corporate world, because he preferred to invest in entrepreneurship, and since he began documenting the process on social media about a month ago, his Interview Coder has grown 50% of its weekly users and now earns $170,000 a month. Looking to AI to redefine interview rules In response to the impact of AI on online interviews, Lee said that he believes that about 99% of people do not realize how widespread the impact is: In the past, you could be an invisible desktop assistant or use LLM to solve problems, but now the combination of the two, basically no online assessment is safe. Reaction to Lee's actions was mixed, with some criticizing his products as "morally corrupt" or "corrupt," but he said he created Interview Coder to get big companies to change the way they interview, and now that the tool is becoming more ubiquitous and the number of users has skyrocketed, it's impossible to go back to the past. An Amazon spokesperson said job seekers are welcome to share their experiences using generative AI tools during interviews, but that unauthorized tools, including generative AI technology, cannot be used during the interview process.
