I have heard recently that the interview process is extremely predatory. The interviewers are mostly looking for reasons to ding you. But I would guess that the process is pretty competitive. So is it good to give unique answers and stand out or to just follow the WSO guides and give standard banking answers?

Stand out. Just don't give hardo and cringe answers and you'll be fine
What would be something borderline cringey?
Acting like you know as much as the person interviewing you.
I think it's good to stand out for good reasons like getting every technical correct and bad to stand out for bad reasons like wearing a white suit. Focus on being the type of person you'd want to work with and it's all Gucci.
