Who would the GM be playing against? The program, the programmer, or both? That's what was so unfair about the Kasparov vs Deep Blue match. Deep Blue had an opening repertoire customized by HUMANS for use against Kasparov. He was not merely playing against a computer, but also those humans. Also, Deep Blue had instantaneous access to his repertoire database whereas Kasparov did not.
