I wonder if you could solve this for programming specifically as follows:

1. Give them some easy leetcode questions. Nothing that a competent programmer would have any problem with.

2. If they pass, ask for a deposit of like $20. Shouldn't be an issue for people who are actually serious.

3. Do more simple leetcode questions but this time on zoom so you can tell if they are using AI. If they pass that they get the deposit back.

(Yeah I know there are real-time interview cheat AI programs but based on what I've seen on demos of them it's super obvious when they're being used.)

Probably not practical but just a thought!
