Paid interview went well

I did a "paid interview" (more like a trial day) yesterday. Think I did just about as well as could possibly be expected. I was organized and got the tasks done. Could talk about my work. Got along with the team. I just wish I could jump to next week to get the news on if I get an offer.

They had given me an offer before, rescinded, then set this trial day up but I know other people were invited to do it too, on separate days last week.

All I can do is wait. This is painful.

Sigh.

So I had an offer rescinded earlier last month. Offer received on a Friday, then taken back on the following Monday. Employer cited she had rushed and needed to consider the role scope more carefully.

She reached back out yesterday offering a chance for me and a select few candidates to come in for a paid interview, structured basically as a single day of freelance work to serve as a trial. Pay works out to about $30/hr. No change to the scope of the role was mentioned (though I did ask).

I'm obviously going to take the opportunity and have already accepted, but I'm uncertain as to what to expect.

My professional work experience with this exact skill set is from a few years ago, pre chatgpt. But the landscape has changed drastically in that the chat bots are used widely in people's workflow now and it has even created branches of the industry that didn't exist before, and I use it extensively too, but I'm nervous about using it in this setting. Is this something to ask about or keep it to myself and just use the tool, or what?

Any thoughts or advice?

Any recommendations?
