Issue with types

So I created a function for myself to manipulate the content of my responses, but i'm having issues with that:

type sendAnyMessage = string | MessageReplyOptions | MessagePayload | MessageCreateOptions | InteractionReplyOptions | (InteractionReplyOptions & { fetchReply: true });
type result = Promise<Message | InteractionResponse>
type otherComp = Omit<sendAnyMessage, "content" | "embeds">

export async function sendTip(
    content: string | EmbedBuilder | APIEmbed | EmbedBuilder[] | APIEmbed[] | (APIEmbed | EmbedBuilder)[], 
    func: (content: sendAnyMessage) => result,
    otherComponents: otherComp | null = null
): result {
  // function code
}

type sendAnyMessage = string | MessageReplyOptions | MessagePayload | MessageCreateOptions | InteractionReplyOptions | (InteractionReplyOptions & { fetchReply: true });
type result = Promise<Message | InteractionResponse>
type otherComp = Omit<sendAnyMessage, "content" | "embeds">

export async function sendTip(
    content: string | EmbedBuilder | APIEmbed | EmbedBuilder[] | APIEmbed[] | (APIEmbed | EmbedBuilder)[], 
    func: (content: sendAnyMessage) => result,
    otherComponents: otherComp | null = null
): result {
  // function code
}

and this is how im using it:

sendTip(embed, interaction.reply, { fetchReply: true })

sendTip(embed, interaction.reply, { fetchReply: true })

But I get the following error:

Argument of type '{ (options: InteractionReplyOptions & { fetchReply: true; }): Promise<Message<boolean>>; (options: string | MessagePayload | InteractionReplyOptions): Promise<...>; }' is not assignable to parameter of type '(content: sendAnyMessage) => result'.

    Type 'sendAnyMessage' is not assignable to type 'InteractionReplyOptions & { fetchReply: true; }'.

        Type 'string' is not assignable to type '{ fetchReply: true; }'.ts(2345)

I'm not that much of an expert in ts, so this error has made me stumped

- DJS v14.4.1 - dont know if this is related, but i'll try to give it a shot here I guess my best bet is to make the function return the manipulated data, then use that for my interaction.reply? The thing is i need to specifiy what method it could be, like it could message.reply, channel.send, interaction.editReply I see Then it makes more sense for the function to just return the manipulated embed / content instead
