Not OP, but real human intelligence is far more emotional than we rational people would like to admit to.
Our reasoning is guided (for better and worse) by a constant stream of subconscious biases, rising out of our desires and fears. No one is immune. Note that this is not necessarily a bad thing as in many (most?) cases, it allows us to short-circuit much mental effort. Nevertheless, those same biases can mislead us too.
A human-like artificial intelligence would need a sense of value, or at least self-worth and aspiration, to mimic those biases to be fully human-like.

That said, I think the degree to which a given AI is "human like" is a value drawn from a continuum, not a binary "yes/no" dichotomy. Some AI's could be more or less "human like" than others, depending on how they are built / trained / etc. At least that's my position at the moment. I freely admit I can't prove it currently, and I'm not totally convinced anyone ever will. But maybe. Anyway, if you take that as a given for the sake of argument, I consider an interesting question to be "just how 'human like' do we actually want/need our AI's to be?"
