Artificial intelligence does not necessarily mean emulating human brain. Few decades before Wright Brothers you could have said, that creating flying machines heavier than air was not going to advance, because the action of bird's wings is extremely difficult to replicate. Which it is - but that turned out to be a non sequitur. You don't need to flap like a bird to fly and - most likely - you don't need to be human-like to be intelligent.
And anyway - people have been achieving EXTREMELY difficult things all throughout history.
