You may be right, but you're only considering what you know about. What about all the hidden technology that's been hidden from us for hundreds maybe thousands of years?
I think it's utterly ignorant to suggest AI is impossible. You're leaving out so much information in just claiming something is or isn't true I don't even know where to begin.

Absolutely, AI is really not "smart" at all, the main difference between programming AI and a standard algorithm is that, rather than sorting out all the various conditions required to process the data the programmer builds the structure and feeds the data through it and it refines the data flow to accomplish the task.
Maybe there are some next level tech hidden away in some lab that is more refined, but mostly they are not much more refined than that.
Chat bots, recommendation systems, even deep fakes are really narrow AI. They are good for the tasks that they have had data fed through them, but even taking a trained AI system and feeding it a different data set will ruin what it learned about the first round of data.
It's also worth noting that what an AI "learns" is the weight to apply to the math, there's no conception for what the data means. That's why it was found that if you took a known data set of images, for example, and added a singular white dot in the middle somewhere, the algorithm would be wrong every time.
