That computer in the link did simulate the human brain for one second.

The difference between animal brains and human brains is just the complexity of the chemical reactions and electrical signals. Besides, many animals have shown signs of being self aware and concious. They aren't as smart as humans, but to think that our brain works in a different way than theirs is just rooted in arrogance and flat out wrong. Humans are animals.

Only interested in that bit because I think the other parts are clear enough. This is exactly my argument. Our brains function in the same way like other biological beings, but we are the only who have something like appreciation of beauty and sense of humor. Why?  Complexity of the chemical reactions? How and why? Was each chemical reaction linked to a certain behavior? Such a statement cannot be thrown like that without factual evidence. It brings more questions than answers.
