I would like it if it were apparent to those other than the table host/purchaser which of the Power v Palooka variety of GIB is seated at a table. Rather than just "GIB W", how about "Power GIB W" if that is in play.

Also I don't know how it would be achieved but it would be nice if those other than the table host were able to see how much thinking time the GIB has been given (of whichever type).

These are both changes that had been considered at one time or other, especially the changing GIB name one. But both would cause too much work for the return, so cannot be done in the near future. I would like to bring up the name differentiation again, perhaps in another format, sometime in the future though. (As in, a way to let players see more clearly what they've bought. The current way of showing advanced vs basic bot rental is hardly optimal. It's basically looking at expiration date of rental to determine which robot was rented. )
