AI Creativity Chronicles​ Weekly Insights from ​The AI Over 50 Guy

Hi friends 👋,

I am excited to share something I’ve been cookin' up for you—and it’s now ready.

Prompted to Create 2026 is a live, 3-week, small-group cohort designed especially for people over 50 who want to engage with AI in a way that feels human, creative, and grounded. It builds on the Prompted to Create course that we did last year.

This isn’t about mastering tools or keeping up with the hype.

It will help you to:

• Get over the AI hump through playful experiments and direct experience.
• Work with AI as a creative partner, not a threat or "boogie man."
• Find your ideal relationship with AI's creative powers by using a human-centered approach.

We’ll work through a clear experiential framework together—covering mindset, personal inquiry, writing, visual thinking, AI-enhanced video, and integrating AI into an ongoing creative practice. (Browse this page to see this new framework in detail.)

The cohort begins the week of February 23.​
Early registration is $399 and expires this Sunday, February 15th. (Standard price $499. No one turned away for lack of funds.)

If you’ve been curious about AI—but hesitant, cautious, or simply waiting for the right way in—this may be it.

Coming Even Sooner

I’m presenting a free, live session, "The New AI Video Playbook: How to navigate the AI video landscape and use what actually works," on Tuesday, February 17th, hosted by Bay Area Content Marketers Meetup. This session will break down the rapidly changing AI video landscape — what matters, what doesn’t, and how to think about it without overwhelm. Click here for details.
(Note: You don't have to pay for MeetUp. If necessary, register for a free MeetUp account, and then register for this event.)

Thanks for staying in the conversation.

Keep creating,

✨ Jon Leland, The AI Over 50 Guy​
Because it’s never too late to play with the future 🚀
