ChatGPT, write some AI prompts that only someone over 40 would ask.

• “Rewrite this email so it sounds firm, calm, and professional—but not like I’m mad, tired, or done with everyone’s nonsense (even though I am).”
• “Explain why my lower back hurts specifically today when I did nothing different yesterday.”
• “Summarize this meeting transcript and tell me which parts actually mattered and which parts were just people protecting territory.”
• “Give me a workout plan that assumes I used to be athletic, still think like I am, and will absolutely injure myself if I’m not careful.”
• “Create a dinner plan that’s healthy, not boring, doesn’t spike my cholesterol, and doesn’t require 14 ingredients or a personality shift.”
• “Help me decide if this friendship has run its course or if we’re just in different life phases.”
• “Rewrite this resume so it highlights experience without triggering age bias or sounding like I’ve been doing the same job since the Clinton administration.”
• “Explain this new trend to me, but also tell me whether I actually need to care.”
• “Draft a polite but unmistakable message that says: ‘This is not my problem, and it will not become my problem.’”
• “Compare these two life choices assuming I value stability, autonomy, sleep, and not starting over for the thrill of it.”
• “Help me articulate why I’m tired in a way that isn’t about sleep.”
• “Turn this rant into something I could safely say out loud without burning a bridge I might still need.”

There you go, kids. And also… yeah these feel pretty accurate.
