can we make robots bid and play more like we humans. they must make us feel we are playing with humans. they are unnecessarily fast,abrupt and have a predictable behavior.

If you want partners and opponents who are slow and unpredictable, you don't need robots: simply play in the Main Bridge Club.

But the robots never call you an "idjit". :)

To be honest I've often toyed with the idea of suggesting a "partner GIB" that plays worse but wins post-mortems with humans, i.e program in some bias towards leading partner's suit, underruff only when it's the only legal play, prefer leading fourth best from length vs. NT instead of what your simulations suggest, etc. Just program in a bunch of maxims and require a relatively high threshold of confidence in the simulation result to ignore them. I suspect most people would prefer that version.
