Eva, how do you wrap a chatbot around your finger? Why is it worth it? And what do we do when an artificial intelligence confesses its love for us?
That’s exactly what happened to journalist and re:publica 24 speaker Eva Wolfangel. In this interview, she tells us how - and categorizes where artificial intelligence in the form of language models makes our lives easier. And where it doesn’t.

Love and hate with Dr. Johanna Degen
Everyone wants to have a good time with online dating, but only a few can really enjoy it. Why? We talk about it with Dr. Johanna Degen a.k.a. “Dr Tinder”. In this interview, the social and media psychologist explains how “dating app fatigue” occurs, what you can do about it and why ghosting should never be an option. Unfortunately, when it comes to love, it’s often also about hate. And there’s a lot of it on the internet. We asked participants at re:publica Berlin to find out what needs to be done to combat hate speech.
