I have played with robots quite a lot and usually find their bidding reasonable. This is my first post to this forum, so hope this is appropriate content. If not, apologies in advance.
A hand come up today that I think shows a bug in the bidding database or algorithm.
In 4th seat with 4 Q75 AK765 AJ83, the auction was:
P P P 1D
P 1H 1NT X (sandwich NT and support X)
2S P P 3C
GIB explains 3C in this auction as showing 5+D, 3H, 5+S, 21- HCP. I think it should be 5+D, 3H, 4+C, 21- HCP. I didn't check before bidding 3C and the rest of the auction is not pretty. I realize my 3C is pushy but I didn't want to sell out with a singleton S, though double might have been a better bid.

3C shouldn't show spades, but with your RHO showing clubs IMO it shouldn't show a club suit either. Probably it should be some sort of strongish 6+ diamond hand.

Yes 3♣ is bidding opponents suit. So will definitely be showing much stronger hand than you have so things will go bad after that.
To give you 5♠ there is some flaw, obviously you open 1♠ then but I don't see any reason to give you any amount of spades.

Sarcasm is a state of mind
