One situation changed dramatically between the 70's and now: climate change and the understanding of its anthropic source. From a purely computer/math science standpoint, I share your opinion.
From an holistic standpoint, I consider that all commercial AI are criminal, in the 2020's. I am more lenient regarding models developed by state nations for the purpose of a greater good for all living beings. Incidentally, I don't want any AI in any end consumer product, unless it is scientifically proven (before the model training starts) that it improves the situation regarding the climate crisis.
