How can a query be shortened with (NOT) LIKE?

Question

MySQL

There is a request with a bunch of NOT LIKE. They all refer to the same column in the table.
For example:

item_type NOT LIKE ? AND item_type NOT LIKE ? AND item_type NOT LIKE ? AND item_type NOT LIKE ? -- etc.

How can this be reduced in general in the SQL language? And how can this be shortened in Rails?

Answer 1

Is there any text at all? If yes, then only if regexp.
If not text (and if the text is exact, and not part of the %% of the string, then you can also not in), then why like, do it normally and not in
