I must be missing something here.
GIB bid clubs, then spades, then diamonds, so his void could only be in hearts.
GIB showed even KC which could be either no Ace or both A♠ and A♦, and you assumed the latter for some reason?

GIB has 5 losers and a fit, enough to force to game even with zero keycards and 10 HCP.
After that it wasn't GIB that asked RKCB, or bid rashly after the reply.
It's a bidding system choice to "force to slam" with a void after RKCB, perhaps a bad idea but blame Kantar not GIB.
And the slam here was making, if only the human didn't overbid to grand

And then you would have missed a cold slam? Like pescetom I'm with GIB here.
We've already established that the alert was correct, so the main thing being debated is whether GIB should show its void or not. It seems to me this will gain more often than it loses.

I don't know why you think that I would have missed a cold slam? If I had gotten 0 keycards I still would have been in 6♦. Staying out of a grand off the A of trumps is the only issue here.
