If we have to have Minor Stayman, please just reprogram them to drop a 3NT rebid. This is repulsive.

I'm not against Responder with the right hand and vulnerability pulling 3NT to a minor, slam invitational... but this is absurd, like so many situations where GiB is incapable of following up an already quirky convention.

I think the showing of the singleton or void is automated. That is, the robot makes the bid without considering what the best contract is. As a result, you should anticipate the robot showing a singleton or void after a minor suit Stayman sequence. Getting to 3NT is probably difficult to get to after Minor Suit Stayman with a robot. Most humans will pass your 3NT bid with given hand. Had you shown a minor suit, some humans might explore slam with the given hands.
