Hmm I don't know of any good "AI bootcamps" yet. BloomTech just launched one but they are in a major rebuilding phase and almost all their staff have turned over, so I'm not sure I would recommend that yet haha.
But it's far too early and the standards aren't set yet. Every few months major new models come out that change the game. Just today OpenAI launched GPT 4o - which does intense multi-modal processing that can significantly impact how AI is used for marketing.
So TLDR: I think you need to learn the AI tools to do well at your non-tech job, but I'm not sure a bootcamp is the right path.

What about the one by 2U on EDX? I see it’s available through UPenn, Northwestern, etc. I’m guessing it’s all the same but anyways looked cool.

This article just came out yesterday and I'm also cautious about anything 2U related right now : [https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/education-technology-2u-debt-e7218eeb](https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/education-technology-2u-debt-e7218eeb)

With the release of GPT 4o, should SWE / CS grads start to worry about employment prospects?

I don't think so and it might even create more jobs soon. I expect a of non-technical jobs will be replaced by "pseudo-engineers".
For example, instead of having 5 customer service reps, you might have a prompt engineer working on refining AI that responds to customers on the front lines, assisted with AI tools that they use and training - but WITHOUT MUCH ACTUAL PROGRAMMING.
There will probably be a wide spectrum of types of engineers and the compensation won't be nearly as high for these less-coding ones, and will probably be HIGHER than it is now for the ones that are behind the scenes running the show.
