If candidates are cheating your interview process by using AI, the solution is not to quiz them on computer science topics. It's to pair with them and watch them cook! If they can cheat with AI better than you can, hire them.

Starting my first new iOS app in over 15 years and on Day 1 I've spent more time debugging build errors in Keychain Access than I have in Xcode. Some things never change.

Almost made it 2 hours working in Xcode before hitting my first Spinning Beachball of Death. I triggered it by scrolling a file listing. Nostalgic!
