The death, maybe, but not the lack of hiring. At $BIGCORP, where I work, I haven't seen an externally hired junior dev in at least 2 years in an extended team of ~100 people.

My prediction is that you will see that trend reverse soon. Have the teams become top-heavy?
My prediction is that you won't see it reverse too soon, but that AI has nothing to do with it. It's just (for now, until the AI bubble itself bursts) a convenient scapegoat for people who haven't come to grips with the broad economic malaise outside of, but not caused by, AI.
Same, we have been in a "hiring freeze" for 4 years now. Contractor hiring via WITCH however has been booming.
We are hiring juniors again now and haven't in the last few years.
