When I was in sixth grade, I read a short story in my English class that has remained constant in my mind to this day. I’m fairly certain it is the only thing from sixth grade left in my brain. (Actually, I read two such stories. The other was Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron,’ which now seems almost impossibly prophetic.) The story was a study in American society by Peter De Vries, “Different Cultural Levels Eat Here.” It revolved around the phrase “mit or mitout,” which was how one of the characters asked “do you want your hamburger with or without onions.”
I’m happy to appropriate the phrase. ChatGPT and other generative AI tools that use Large Language Models have the potential to add value to copywriting. Whether that is a positive development is in some ways a matter of personal preference. As a copywriter, I offer my copywriting services mit or mitout.
MITOUT. If you don’t Want AI involved in your writing, I will make it so. You can check my copy and anyone else’s to see if it’s AI-written using tools like these
