I should mention also that beating them was not any sort of indication that I
was inferior to them (even though I am).

Computers *might* be at GM level.  Or not.  For a GM to be at GM level, what
does he/she have to do?  A computer must pass those exact same conditions or it
is not *proven* to be at GM level.  Period.  Right now, we just don't know.
Scientifically, that is.

Any computer is at that level if you think it is.
