Pretty vague for GIB. Could be third hand high with a doubleton or tripleton, or possibly just a random follow. You usually see random waste of high cards in 2nd hand. I suppose there might be 1 out of a hundred times when some kind of unblock is necessary, but it would greatly improve the defense if GIB always played low in normal following suit situations.

If you had ♥Qxx you wouldn't play the queen. Especially not here.
Become yourself.

GIB is not good at all at figuring out when singletons are forced. We've seen it fail to give a ruff when it played an Ace, Queen was in dummy, and partner dropped the King.
