Is there any difference in a GPU that's good at bitcoin mining versus one that's good for AI work? Or to ask another way is all the compute being built-out now able to be repurposed for mining?

No GPU is good for bitcoin mining; that's all been ASICs for a long time. Even before anyone got around to making ASICs for it, FPGA-based designs had displaced GPU mining. Bitcoin mining is very, very simple.

Some altcoins use GPUs.
