Parts of the world might move slower, but I've already not hired folks because the job can be done easier with ChatGPT. I'm certain I'm not alone, nor am I certain this is a good thing when broadly applied across every single industry. Both for quality reasons as well as societal.
No force besides ChatGPT has existed up until now (other than economic downturns) that has been this disruptive to software engineering in my nearly 20 year career.
What happens when this new reality truly hits the non-US consulting/dev shop world in India, Latin America, etc.?
No, I think the impact will be like an electric shock to the system once a critical mass of roles are gone, and I think it's going to happen much sooner than people realize. The world will feel like the rug was pulled out from under them, and it's going to happen soon.
