Help
huh?
This one boggled my mind, because I thought the one thing GIB could do right was play card combinations. With the following trump suit:
Q10942
AJ63
GIB led low to the Jack, and when it held, cashed the Ace????? There was no opposition bidding and nothing to ruff in the short hand.
It even had an easy entry back to Q10942 hand and no work to do but claim the remaining tricks (but one) after repeating the finesse. How is it that GIB could make such a mistake? I would also like to note that at every other table, with a slightly different bidding sequence, GIB played it right. Is it something personal???

How does GIB get a stock card combination wrong?

If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it then how bad a decision could it really be?

Yeah. I'm sure BBO hires one guy to be behind each GIB, you just happened to play with the GIB manipulated by an enemy of yours.

Maybe it's a reverse Turing test. Your task is to guess which GIB isn't really a GIB 
Life is long and beautiful, if bad things happen, good things will follow.

Ooh, this give me an idea for a way to program bridge robots without any AI.
I recently read the book "The Most Human Human", which recounts the author's experience as one of the human competitors in the annual Turing Test competition. He talked about how some of the computer programs are designed -- they search archives of actual human conversations, and look for similar sequences. This is also how Google Translate works; it searches pre-existing translations for the phrases in the supplied document.
This type of bridge robot could search archives of bridge hands, looking for similar layouts and bidding sequences, and how the humans bid and played them.
