People can dehumanize you as well. I'm going through technical interviews now. While most people interviewing me are decent enough, even the nicer ones can look at their phones, get distracted/impatient or even start hazing you. Let alone how unnatural and stressful it is to start solving algorithms in front of two people. Also - the amount of constructive feedback I got from the interviews is zero, perhaps an A.I can do a better job at it.
No one really teaches people how to interview candidates and many see it as a drain on their time and do it reluctantly. In big companies the person giving you the 1st technical interview many times isnt even on the team you're interviewing for, sometimes he's not even in the same country. So it's not like you get to meet the team on such an interview, you simply go through a mostly awkward hour to hour and half solving some Leetcode question while the guy stares silently at your shared screen or worse stares at his own tabs.
I think the whole Leetcode thing can definitely be outsourced to A.I and I have no problem with it at all, in fact it might be more comfortable for candidates bombing in front of an A.I than in front of a person.
The more behavioral interviews (usually 2nd step onwards) are the interviews where there is real value in meeting the actual team (which Leetcode step is usually not part of) - has to stay human.
I have done interviews with companies that I generally thought were wholesome enough, but you can't control how individuals feel on certain days, they could be going through some dark days at home etc.
I'm not sold on AI interviews, but it could actually end up letting you fully share your experience more than a human could on average.
