37. UX Salzburg Evening (ONLINE)

What actually happens when you ask ChatGPT something? Why does it sometimes make things up – and why does the lie sound just as convincing as the truth?

Tara Maria Bosenick, UX pioneer since 1999 and AI realist based in Hamburg, takes audiences inside the mechanics of large language models. Not as a computer science lecture, but as an honest assessment: What can AI actually do? What can't it? And how do you work with it intelligently?

With her now-famous teenager metaphor – "An LLM is a very clever teenager who desperately wants to please, but is secretly stubborn" – Tara makes tangible what usually disappears into abstraction. The talk delivers technical fundamentals, practical prompting strategies, and a perspective that knows neither hype nor panic.
