Reminds me of an "actual Dutch" AI scandal:

https://www.politico.eu/article/dutch-scandal-serves-as-a-wa...

> In 2019 it was revealed that the Dutch tax authorities had used a self-learning algorithm to create risk profiles in an effort to spot child care benefits fraud.

This was a pre-LLM AI, but expected "hilarity" ensues: broken families, foster homes, bankruptcies, suicides.

> In addition to the penalty announced April 12, the Dutch data protection agency also fined the Dutch tax administration €2.75 million in December 2021.

The government fining itself is always such a boss move. Heads I win, tails you lose.
