The premise
Abstracts have hard word limits. AI can compress while keeping the four moves: aim, method, finding, contribution.
What AI does well here
- Cut to a target word count.
- Preserve the four standard abstract moves.
- Tighten passive voice to active where appropriate.
What AI cannot do
- Decide which finding is the headline.
- Add novelty language that wasn't in the source.
- Know the conference's unwritten preferences.
