- IT specialist Mark Keus, 55, from Heteren said persistent AI hallucinations left unfixable data gaps and led him to end the experiment.
- The tool misrepresented local politics by mixing up parties and issues, including recommending Elburg parties in Tilburg and listing non‑participating groups in Waalwijk and De Ronde Venen.
- Keus reported insults, threats and warnings of legal action from political parties, noting that each fix created new errors.
- The site recorded 70,766 uses before it was taken down, according to the maker’s statement.
- The Association of Dutch Municipalities labeled the project a dangerous election experiment, and ChristenUnie MP Mirjam Bikker submitted parliamentary questions.
