I looked around and it bid this same thing on every table. The only way anyone got to 4♠ was the one table where a human player was west and bid it. How does west bid 4♥ over 4♠? The link is just the table where it failed the worst, which there's no way it would have done so bad on 4♠. This is basic GIB but I'd still think it should be able to do bids this basic by now.

Why would want to be in 4S with East's hand- its a clear 3NT bid over 2NT- its awful thought process by GIB to even think of playing in a major with such a flat hand.

Yes I know that but pretend east didn't have such a hand where it would have much preferred to play in a major if possible. West knows east has 4 spades but has no idea how many hearts, and yet west still makes a bid that shows rebiddable hearts, which it doesn't have, when west easily could have bid 4♠, or even leaving it on 3NT is still better than bidding a known not fit suit, which it was lucky to even have 7 total cards in.

Yeah cloa, while GIB should have just bid 3NT, that WAS NOT THE POINT of the hand! After East uses Stayman and then bids 3NT, West should know that East has 4 Spades and should be bidding 4♠ as a result. This looks like a clear bug, but why does it still exist???
