Other than that we are no different. 

What i mean by wild card its just a term really for saying we are unpredictable.

And as far as emotions go we are trying our best to program them into machines currently. Google kenji the robot programmed to love you are bound to find stuff on that. 

I would amend that with the word, 'complexity.' I see no reason to believe that what we call consciousness/spirit/soul is anything more mysterious than a very complex program running on a biological computer. We don't have a good understanding of it yet, but we will.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
