"Psychic" is not an appropriate word it. Psychic bids are gross mistatements of general strength with the aim of fooling the opposition. You can call this bid a gamble or a bad bid as you prefer. Though it is unclear it is actually a bad bid. GIB clearly recognised that the defenders were GIB-bots and bid in the expectation of the quality of defence it would expect from GIB-bots.
