Speculative approaches to technology-enabled ageing futures often struggle against reductive imaginaries that diverge from everyday realities, a challenge being compounded by the mainstream embrace of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Through a series of workshops, we explore a generative postcard approach that highlights how the techno-deterministic visions of generative AI are both a feature and tool for critique as we link ageing futures with everyday realities.
