Ask HN: What's the point of automated skill assessment tests in the age of AI?

Back in the day there were two choices: refuse do do it or jump through the hoops. Today nobody I know bothers with automated skill assessment tests any more. Folks just feed it into ChatGPT and be done. Yesterday I've applied to a role I found interesting, received a confirmation email and seconds later - skill assessment test link. So it looks like nowadays humans no longer bother reading the CVs, it's all left to the bots. The test involved a tech stack I was not familiar with, so I thought it would be a good opportunity for the ChatGPT and it handled it well without even breaking a sweat. The though occurred to me that today one side uses AI to create and evaluate these tests and the other side uses AI to complete them. Is this the new reality? What's even the point?
