What this means for you

www.michigan.gov talked to 6 outside services on a first visit, including 3 that measure visits or show ads.E5E8E9

  • An AI agent used the site and saw 1 of 2 claimed features working.E37E38E37E38
  • Each qualifying design was screened for AI and copyrighted material before public voting.: The contest page says submitted designs were screened for AI-generated and copyrighted material, and its rules say artwork must be original and non-AI generated. This is a review the organizers did before voting opened, not a tool on the website. The page has no feature to try, and the June 1 news release I opened doesn't describe how the screening was done.E37E38
  • Extra observation: what the page is: This is a Michigan Department of State page for a contest to design an 'I Voted' sticker. Entries and public voting are closed, and the page lists the 2026 winners and links to news releases. Voting used an external Microsoft Forms link, and the page shows no AI or crypto product.E37E38
  • Tech check: the site mentions ai / agents, but we found nothing behind it in what its public page loads.E35
  • Before you click anything, the page loads analytics or ad services: Google Analytics / Tag Manager and Google Ads / DoubleClick.E5E8E9
  • 6 cookies were set in your browser, all by the site itself.E10E11E12E13E14

What the AI agent tried

An AI agent (claude-opus-5-5) used the site in our sandbox for 2 steps and saw 0 of 1 claimed feature working. It can't connect a wallet, pay, sign or log in, so those features count as "couldn't test". What it reports is what it observed, not a verdict.

Couldn't test

Each qualifying design was screened for AI and copyrighted material before public voting.

The contest page says submitted designs were screened for AI-generated and copyrighted material, and its rules say artwork must be original and non-AI generated. This is a review the organizers did before voting opened, not a tool on the website. The page has no feature to try, and the June 1 news release I opened doesn't describe how the screening was done.E37E38

Also noticed

Things the agent saw along the way that aren't among the site's claims. Not counted above.

Limits

  • We only see what your browser sees: code and requests on a first visit, without logging in or accepting cookie banners. What the servers do with data is invisible from outside.
  • Site code is usually minified (compressed), so names are partly lost and some code may be only partly analysed.
  • Some trackers only load after you accept cookies or log in, so the real list can be longer.
  • We visited from a server in the United States. Sites load different trackers and cookie banners in different countries (visitors in the EU usually get a consent banner first).
  • The tech check compares the site's own words with what its public page loads. Work done on servers, in private code or in separate apps isn't visible here, so 'nothing found' means not visible on the public page, not that it doesn't exist.
  • This text was written from fixed templates because no AI writer was available. It uses exactly the same evidence.
  • The code reader hit its size budget on parts of 48 large bundle file(s); those parts weren't fully analysed.

Facts, not judgements: this page describes what the code and traffic show, not anyone's intent. Not financial advice. Case id ibj890kw.
