Computers have no consciousness like human brains.

The way I see it computers are simply doing the tasks we have told them to do. They process information in a way in which we have designed them to. They do not 'think' like you suggest. ALL of their actions are performed via algorithms and commands that we have gave them in the first place. Until a computer system is able to start programming itself, and able to make its own decisions that are influenced by factors not distinguished by the programmer, then they don't really have any consciousness. They simply don't think for themselves.
The human mind is far more complex than any machine we have ever made. As good as computing is, it's still just a series of 0's and 1's.
Replace "computer" with "human" and "programmer" with "natural selection" and I don't see a fundamental difference.
