As impressive as IBM's achievement was, Deep Blue was just a computer doing computer shit, lots of switches in an on/off state. Was the machine actually playing chess or was it selecting from an enormous pool of options? I don't know. If that's what artificial intelligence is, then fine, ok.
Now artificial consciousness or self awareness is something very different, and we are nowhere near creating such a machine. Praise be.
Well considering that Deep Blue simply beat Kasparov by being faster and more accurate at evaluating a large but finite and very well defined set of moves, and not through any application of intelligence, your first sentence doesn't hold up.

It looks like you're correct though, in terms of mapping brains, we haven't gotten to chimp level yet. (Gotten as far as rats)
Why do you continue to post links to a website that has nothing but bullshit articles designed solely for clickbait?
