A DevOps YouTuber tests GitHub Copilot on a range of Leetcode problems and finds it solves most immediately, with a few needing tweaks and some far off. He concludes it would outperform him in a FAANG-style interview.
Cited as evidence that AI can solve interview-style algorithm puzzles, in threads questioning the value of Leetcode.

i actually like it that copilot is better than me at solving interview questions. this video I for one welcome our robot overlords. i wonder if they could retrain the model on BSD or MIT licensed code only; How much of the open source code is licensed as GPL vs more permissive licenses, does anyone know? Interesting that they want to charge for the use of co-pilot, I guess that we will see this business model more in the future.
It's a question of whether copilot can be "creative". I'm mit sure, but it did manage to solve some of the harder leetcode questions here this video and I'm curious how it will fare on the later advent of code problems.
> But if there wasn't any art to these problems, then after 400+ problems wouldn't you have figured out the robotic algorithm to solve them? this video
