I'm interviewing people right now and I feel like it's actually the opposite. I know for a lot of folks this is true, and I've been through those interviews, but fuck, I would love if I could find somebody who is just on par with the interview questions and could just answer them all satisfactorily, because that's what we actually need.

A lot of people with poorly developed social skills like to pretend that poorly developed social skills don't make them a bad coworker. I don't think I agree with that. Your job isn't just the stuff you like. Organization, prioritization, collaborating and interacting with your coworkers, attending meetings and making useful contributions, just generally not being a dick...all of those are your job. Interviews often take place after they're already convinced that you have the required background, so they're largely interested in discovering whether you're a good chemistry match for the team.
Can't really speak to grueling tech interviews though. That's a whole different category of thing.
If only you could use ChatGPT during an interview the same way as when you're employed. Then everyone would finally recognize how outstanding you are
