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

Hey friend 👋

If you’ve ever looked back on your life’s work and struggled to put the pieces into a clear story, you’re in good company. So many creatives over 50 feel that mix of confusion, overwhelm, and “where do I even start?” when it comes to AI.

Here’s a perspective on AI you might not have heard before:
​You’re not behind. Your story is still unfolding. And AI isn’t replacing you—it's here to help you amplify what you’ve lived. ✨

Your Story Has Power. AI Makes It Easier to See. 🎨 🧭

My own journey—decades of media innovation, bridging the Grand Canyon Gap between people and technology, community building, and creative exploration—has always had a through-line. Yet, when I fed a simple one-page bio into an AI illustration tool (Nano Banana Pro), the through-line snapped into focus.

Suddenly, I could see my story: the map, the themes, the pivots, the hidden connections that shaped who I’ve become. That experience is exactly what pushed me into this next chapter as The AI Over 50 Guy.

AI became a thought partner—not replacing my creativity, but expanding it.

And that’s the part I want you to feel: your lived experience is meaningful. AI can help you express it.

A Simple AI Experimentation Recipe 🍲✨

Ready to play? You don’t need a big project. You don’t need fancy gear. You just need one story you’ve been carrying.

Here’s what works:

1. Pick one meaningful moment from your life.
2. Tell it the way you’d tell a close friend—messy, human, real. (Recording a voice memo is perfect.)
3. Drop that story into Nano Banana Pro or another visual tool (see video below for a demo) and ask/prompt it to create a map, an infographic, a scene—whatever fits your fancy.
4. Then, iterate (ask for revisions). Then iterate again. Play. Explore. Follow the Juice.

This simple exercise can help you reclaim creative momentum—with small sparks, especially if you follow them consistently.
