Show me an interaction between two dolphins and I'll be very unlikely to simulate what they feel/experience. For an AI, that would probably be the same except we are the dolphins in that case. Besides, as you hint, you still have to have had an experience of feeling pain before and have a mechanism to avoid it. Which means, having self-preservation encoded within your brain processi. And if you don't get PTSD from the movie, you won't know what PTSD feels like (let's imagine this is the only way one experiences stress). There is a need for more correlation processing between sources of data that would be similar to what a living-being may capture. We're not there yet.
