I think they play better than IM level

I agree that they are not playing 2700 level but I guess that their level is
2550 OTB

The result of Rebel against GM's give it performance of more than 2500 and it
plays in unfair conditions(not in tournaments when everyone must play everyone
and the GM cannot prepare only against it)

I agree that they do a lot of mistakes but the same is for most GM's.

I believe that humans can play better but unfortunately most humans who can get
2650-2700 rating if they learn more about chess are not professional because
they do not think that they can earn much money by being at 2700 level.

I think that one example is GM yona kossasvilli who is working as a doctor
