...emotions, we actually are (close to?) recreating, "materializing," these emotions?

I realize that a "spark" is needed to "interpret" these emotions, but certainly no "soul" of any kind: whoever has looked into the eyes of his cat or dog just knows, they *experience * emotions.

That still is the ("only") part that is lacking.
