Why should she do her best? There's no incentive besides money in playing
against a computer. If the computer (program) loses there's going to be tons of
excuses ranging from a bad opening book to a overheated processor due to a fan
failure in a crucial moment of the match. If the program wins there'll be
nothing but disgrace and ridecule to the loosing GM. It's a no win situation. If
I were a GM I wouldn't play unless there's a lot of money involved. Even then I
wouldn't prepare for days.

Best wishes...
