Accused of “Copying Code”: Li Bojie (former Huawei “Genius Youth”, now Chief Scientist at Pine AI) attended a remote interview with DeepSeek. As he is accustomed to working with dual monitors, his gaze occasionally shifted toward the secondary screen on his left.
The interviewer directly accused him of “copying code” and demanded that he prove his innocence, or the interview could not proceed.
The interviewee’s response: Li Bojie considered the accusation baseless and extremely disrespectful of professional standards. He terminated the interview on the spot and later posted on social media about DeepSeek’s interview process, including lateness, slow feedback, and this offensive accusation.
Public opinion characterization: This is not an accusation of academic or code plagiarism against Li Bojie, but rather a misunderstanding caused by “gaze deviation towards a secondary screen” during a remote interview, combined with a hasty judgment made unilaterally by the interviewer.
As of now, there is no evidence whatsoever that Li Bojie engaged in plagiarism.
