I not so long ago downloaded bringer 1.9 from chess.com and recently played the computer with an elo of 1600. The game was played with the time constraints of blitz, and I actually completed the game--with considerable time to spare-- totally destroying the computer. I found that as quite suprising, for the computer was easier to beat than 1300-1400's human players I play against in blitz 10|0. Now, I'm not sure if this experience is misleading, but it makes me assume that human players of equal elo, or even less, make stronger players than computers. Or it could be a misconception of mine maybe due to my style of play, affecting my advantages over a computer positively, while humans find my style more "human like," therefore easier to play against. Also, my perception of computer strength could be relative, so that another player of my equal can actually have a harder time against artificial intelligence due to his different style.
