By simply not hiring software developers. I am not really sure whether it is due to AI or just a coincidence.

I'm seeing lower salaries, and work sample on actual codebase consistently happening. Also here an ex employee wanting to come back at just above half their previous pay.

Does not bode well for candidates.

Only thing that changed where I am is if you have any formal methods experience you get called first because us like everyone else has some formal methods team actively hiring with little applications so have to find good fits out of the general pool.

Otherwise interviews are the same more or less with emphasis on reading code and being asked is there a more optimized approach and then seeing if the candidate invalidates the cache. You'll probably still get hired if you do it once but after being told something and you do it again in the next interview then nope. They still fly everyone out and do a superday with back to back interviews (and pay for the time).
