robot play with less conventions

I believe that if there was a second level of these robot tournaments which would use only yellow card or less many more people would play. I submit that GIB is way over the heads of most recreational players.
If this is not possible, does anyone know of another site which has simpler bridge but tournaments like BBO?
Thanks

They often indicate with their bid a certain point count which turns out they are far short of. In competition, they often make bid indicating game force to at least 3nt when they do not have the points.
They sometimes bid nt even though they do not have the stop in opp overcall suit because they assume you have the stop.
If you passed multiple times while Opp bids, one cannot then do a penalty double even at the 4 level because robot thinks it is for takeout. In fact, it is always dangerous to penalty double opp in competition because robot may continue to bid and not leave it in.
Robot's cue bids drive me nuts. Seems like it can never just give you a simple raise of your suit.
Finally, I hate the transfer options after 1nt opening. Seems like some programmer went berserk and put in every convention one can find.
Robots almost never do a penalty double.
On defense, it will often not lead your bid suit.

Whenever the bot makes a foolish call, I raise it to 7 and then sit back and watch. Other times I just curse and logoff.

I said that GIBs were almost human Then I remembered that GIbs are programmed by humans(!) A.I. never makes mistakes

Every few months we upgrade the robots, the improvements are all based on feedback like yours. But we can't fix everything all at once. Please don't give up on us.

Why couldn't we have a lower tier tournament where certain conventions were eliminated. This doesn't seem all that complicated. Of course i know nothing about coding.
Shucks
