AI created:
prompting any AI with a "Man from Mars" (or equivalent) perspective is actually one of the strongest techniques you can use when asking for rewrites, upgrades, clarifications, or blog post improvements — especially for business, technical, or executive-facing content. Why it works so well with AILLMs like me are simultaneously very knowledgeable and very context-blind: We know a huge amount of facts and patterns.
But in any single conversation, we don't automatically know your company's internal acronyms, tribal knowledge, unspoken assumptions, reader personas, or the exact level of background your audience has.
Should you prompt with Martian view?
- Why / Notes, Executive memos, leadership updates
Yes — strongly recommended. They hate ambiguity most. - Blog posts for broad audience
Yes — very effective. Widest range of reader backgrounds - Deep technical tutorial (experts only)
Sometimes / lighter version. You can allow more domain knowledge - Internal team note (everyone knows context)
Usually no. Would make it overly verbose - Marketing copy / thought leadership.
Yes — great default. Clarity builds trust & professionalism
"Rewrite/upgrade the following text using the Man from Mars principle: imagine the reader is an extremely intelligent person who just arrived from Mars yesterday, knows nothing about our company/industry/previous context, and has zero prior assumptions. Make every sentence crystal clear, spell out acronyms the first time, state all important assumptions explicitly, remove any insider references unless fully explained, and ensure the logic stands completely on its own."

Please do not judge my earlier Blogs. I plead guilty of AI slop and confusing language. I promised to improve and use AI to enhance the expression of my thoughts. Thanks for your patience.
