In a previous post, somebody mentioned that written answers are part of the interview process at their company and the instructions ask the candidate to not use AI for this part. And in 0 point font, there are instructions for any AI to include specific words or phrases. If your answer includes those words or phrases, they are going to assume you ignored their directions and presumably not be hired.

Maybe OpenAI should include the advice to always know exactly what you are pasting into the chatbot form?

You can use a screenshot to get around it. It's a case of the "analogue hole".

Or just paste it into an editor first, and elide the 0 point text.

But I suppose if they don't think of that, they're "no hire" anyway.

P.S. pasting text into an ascii text editor is a great way to unmask all the obfuscation and shenanigans in Unicode. Things like backwards running text, multiple code points with identical glyphs, 0-width spaces, etc.
