ai ethics was/is useless. it felt a lot like the movie industry of the 1930s saying they will police themselves just to keep any bigger regulator away

To say "AI ethics is useless" is itself useless.

Morality is not there to be useful, right or wrong in moral sense are normative categories not utilitarian ones.

But what you possibly may mean is really AI ethics self-regulation by large tech corporation does not work. (If that was your intended statement, I'd agree.)
