Please be kind
I didn't realise my cue bid said I had 30 points lol
Explains why North bot thought I had 5 key cards
Reminder to self. Take the initiative with Blackwood

If you're interested in slam, you probably should go for Blackwood immediately. You control each suit, so no need for cuebids - all you need to know is how many keycards partner has and whether they have the ♥Q or not. In general I'd try to keep bidding with bots simple to reduce the risk of them misbidding. I just had another incident of a bot misbidding I shared in this subforum - also related to cuebidding, as the bot denied a control it actually had.

As someone else said very recently, GiB does not know how to cuebid. But even if you (optimistically) want to bid Italian style mixed cuebids, spades with a singleton is the due bid, now a decent human pair will stop in 5H after discovering the keycards situation.

I will be charitable and say cue-bidding is variable. Could be random of course but the North bot ignored that I didn't have the Ace of spades and still counted to
I'm assuming too it trusted the inaccurate description of my bid and struggles adding up to 40
There is almost also a nice grand in clubs or NT on offer
