You can make a 1 tile island useful in the modern age - build a harbor, commercial dock, and offshore platform. A whale or fish also help and depending on your civ traits, you can get extra shields or food or commerce on your city square when it's a metro. The corruption would be pretty bad though.
The thing about 1-tile islands isn't that they're useful to you, but that you're denying your enemy the pleasure of having it. Getting a civ reduced to a last city on a 1 tile island means you'll still have him around until marines.
They also serve as fine lookouts, healing ports, and bomber bases.
Oh god how they serve as bomber bases.

Especially when said island is right in the middle between my continent and the other one, then my pirates don't have to sail all the way back home to heal.Yes, but as for the other 5000 years. And the whale and fish isn't too common. But it's still very useful to me.
Healing ports are my main use for them.
They could be useful to you, if they had Iron or Saltpeter or a resource, then they would be very useful, this is rare though.
(Edit) As for me, the healing port and/or airbases is useful enough to make me settle their regardless if the AI does or not.
