Every single time the robot leads an unsupported King or Queen (that is, the King without the Queen, or the Queen without the Jack), The robot's partner HAS that Queen or Jack.
And on that note, how come EVERY time the robot leads trumps, it is correct? The robots cheat like hell. That's why.

Every single time?
Surely you must know this is a gross exaggeration.
For me, most of the time when a robot leads a singleton king of trump, it is spectacularly wrong, whether I am declarer or the unwitting partner.
The lead of singletons in unsupported suits has been analyzed by a number of people, and the conclusion is that singleton leads are usually the best lead.

'unsupported' doesn't mean 'singleton'

'Unsupported' definitely sums up the OP.

Right, I wasn't thinking about doubletons (or longer) because IMO GIB leads those less than an expected percentage compared to human players. I could be wrong but I think that is due to GIB's usual preference for passive leads.

It's obviously from a doubleton. Do all of you need spoon feeding like this on a regular basis? Hopeless.

There is no conspiracy here. GIB doesn't know about any cards other than its own and what cards have already been played. If it were going to do that it would play perfect double dummy (which we know it doesn't), either that or it would have to employ some sort of selective use of that knowledge which would be far more complicated and error prone than playing perfectly.
