Would they be at the >super gm level? Or would they barely beat master level players? Definitely, without doubt, super-GM at blitz. It's wild extrapolation, but probably super-GM at 40/2. It's even wilder extrapolation, but probably IM or GM even at correspondence. We really don't have a lot of data. Maybe the GM's would learn strategies against them (but if that is the case, then why don't they similarly learn strategies against each other). All the contests in which computers take part seem to put them on footing with top level GMs. At correspondence, I don't think they are as good as Hammarat, and GM Nickel clearly holds his own against the best. But that too, must fall. Exponential curves being what they are.
