Your title is very sensationalized. The actual title:

From bootcamp to bust: How AI is upending the software development industry

And the contents of the article talking about AI being the final nail in the coffin of coding bootcamps that where already disappearing.

In retrospect, you're right. Though I quoted an exact quote from the article. Bootcamps prepare for entry level placements and it reports on how placements were 83% prior to GPT and 37% to first year post GPT. That backs up the "collapse" claim. However, "collapse" does suggest long-term instability which I agree is not justified, yet.
