Tired of behavioural questions in interviews

I have given close to 10 interviews and every single time they ask the same questions (word for word). “Describe a time you worked under pressure”, “describe a time you made a mistake”.

Most candidates have these answers already memorized and lie about it, so why not just ask something different for once.

Interviews have become less of “I can do this” and more of how well someone can memorize an answer. The game’s gone.

Edit: I'm not just talking about the "describe a time you made a mistake" question, i just used it as an example. I'm talking about most of the behavioural questions that are overused and everyone already knows the answer to. You can ask chatgpt right now and it will give you those questions word for word
