I am optimistic, but there were dolls capable of playing musics back in Medieval Age, I feel like e.g. Siri is one of those things.

The difference to me is that the dolls capable of playing music were made up of a small set of parts compared to 15 million lines of code for Wolfram Alpha. We are way more sophisticated today.

You chose a bad example. Wolfram Alpha is like 15000 of such dolls. Not an AI in any way though.

I had legos when I was a kid. The Burj Khalifa is pretty much just like that.

Pretty much. It's not like it is 3d-printed, robot-assembled or "grown" in a semi-biological way.
