Your Mission, Should You Choose to Prompt It

In honor of Mission Impossible — The Final Reckoning’s release, I bent this Kittridge caption around the so-called “Nobody” joke format.

Boss: “Did you use AI to write today’s newsletter?”
Me:

Dumb? Absolutely. Profound: Definitely not. Timely? I guess!

Out of curiosity (or was it boredom?), I also asked the Entity (a/k/a ChatGPT) to workshop a batch of email marketing-inspired headlines for this very post.

Here’s what it spit out.

  • Every Word Was AI. And Honestly? It Slayed.

  • This Email Was Brought to You by Artificial Intelligence and Vibes

  • I Let AI Write the Whole Thing. The Boss Said “Every Word.”

  • Me vs. The Prompt: Who Really Wrote This?

  • The Prompt Was Simple. The Output Was Unhinged.

  • Did I Write It? Technically, Yes. (So Did GPT-4.)

  • Mission: Improbable — AI Wrote My Campaign Copy

  • This Blog Will Self-Destruct (After AI Finishes Writing It)

As you can see, most of them were extremely mid, so in the end I rolled with my original take.

Have you seen Final Reckoning? I thought it was plenty fun and enjoyable, but couldn’t quite touch the heights reached by its immediate predecessor. Let me know if you felt differently in the comments below!
