The robot discarded an honor on my ace

Not shocking, considering how wretched the GIB robots are at "defending".

This is your fault, not the robot's. As noted in its System Notes:
This may not be standard for you, as most humans would do the opposite, but was when GIB was written.
Having promised three diamonds with your opening double, your lead therefore tells partner there is a 100% chance you do not have the king of diamonds, making its queen entirely worthless. True, it didn't need to throw it, and perhaps the opps would have played for you leading from AQx later (though who would do that), but this is all moot when you just need to lead the king here.

If it leads an honor that's part of a sequence, it uses standard honor leads (K from AKx, A from AK doubleton).

Please, Stephen! Regardless of whether or not the human led the "correct" card according to the GIB system, there was still absolutely no reason whatsoever for the GIB robot to make such a ridiculous zero percent play...except, that is, for the typically pathetic GIB defensive "abilities". Even YOU, Stephen, admit that "... it didn't need to throw it, and perhaps the opps would have played for you leading from AQx later...".

Some people like to play with robots for enjoyment, and aim to get the best results they can, given GIB itself will never change. These people may not be aware that the A lead denies the K, and upon learning such fact, can improve their results in the future.
Your posts, on the other hand, provide absolutely no value whatsoever to anyone, so that's the last one of those I'll be reading - welcome to the ignore list.
