Kicked out of Columbia, this student doesn’t plan to stop trolling big tech with AI


Roy Lee built an AI app that he claims got him internship offers from the likes of Amazon and Meta. A spokesperson for Columbia declined to comment on individual students.

A computer science student at Columbia University said he has been kicked out by the school after he built an artificial intelligence tool to cheat in tech job interviews and documented the fallout online. Chungin “Roy” Lee, a second-year undergraduate, garnered online attention after he claimed to have fooled four of the world’s biggest companies using Interview Coder, a desktop app he created to discreetly solve technical coding questions. Other AI-powered interview cheating apps, such as Leetcode Wizard, which touts successful results for thousands of users, have also become increasingly popular during the generative AI boom of recent years.
