Google fed coding interview questions to ChatGPT and, based off the AI's answers, determined it would be hired for a level three engineering position, according to an internal document.

As reported(Opens in a new window) by CNBC, the experiment was done as part of Google's recent testing of multiple AI chatbots, which it's considering adding to the site. ChatGPT's ability to surface a concise, high-fidelity answer to a question could save users time typically spent surfing links on Google to find the same information.

“Amazingly, ChatGPT gets hired at L3 when interviewed for a coding position,” says the document. And while level three is considered an entry-level position on the engineering team at Google, average total compensation for the job is about $183,000(Opens in a new window) .

Google's software engineer interview process(Opens in a new window) relies mainly on technical questions, which ChatGPT passed. Although, the interview does include a few behavioral examples ("Tell me about a time...") Facebook, Amazon, and others also rely on these questions, particularly for leadership roles, which may be a barrier for "hiring" ChatGPT.
