I'm not sure I understand your point. Computers communicate with one another constantly. There certainly does seem to be something different about us, but I've yet to see any scientific or philosophical proof that our self-awareness is necessarily involved with our intelligence or behavior. There's a good deal of philosophical literature around this idea ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie ), and virtually no scientific explanation of consciousness.
I grant of course that this may not be a terribly useful way for human beings to view themselves, and it is quite contrary to popular belief, but for all that it could still be true.
