Those aren't decades-old "prognostications". They are things that happened.
Could it be different this time? Maybe! But if you want to say that it will, then you have to make the argument. Or maybe you can get ChatGPT to do it for you?
I have not, but others have detailed examples where it produces rubbish. Certainly not the kind of risk to take with safety critical systems like what an astronaut may rely on.
I would add, just because someone made a prognostication decades ago does not invalidate the same prognostication now.
Have you tried it?
