I mean, pulling it back for a second, what the fuck would an "abstract study" even be about? What, would you publish the results of your thought experiment?
An abstract study has yet to be implemented. You cannot run an abstract study on it's own. Otherwise, it can be about anything.
for non programmers
An abstract class is a concept in programming.
void* study();
Journal of Philosophy would like a word.
Also every scientist who works in theoretical disciplines.
I was actually wondering this the other day. Could I be so abstract that I don't even really say anything useful at all in the paper, but still make it sound like there's something to it? 🤔
So basically anything made by ChatGPT? ;)
AI generated nonsense has been published before. Even got by peer review. That was even before ChatGPT.
Clearly it's a meta analysis of abstracts.
It's just a study done on a higher abstraction level. Like looking at CPU as a collection of logic gates instead of transistors. Or programming in C instead of assembly.
