I have indeed earned recognition in various fields, and I am happy for my
success.  My computer programs, however, care not a whit how good or bad they
are, nor do I care for their feelings.  Nor does the chess playing community in
general care whether a computer earns a GM title.  Only a subset of this, the
computer chess community, cares. As you suggested, only a seperate, computer GM
title could work, with standards to be set by this caring subgroup. Even if it
should come to pass, I think few outside the group would give such titles much
notice, and I think comparisons to human GMs would still be futile, as the
conditions for the computer and human titles would be different.
