Prompt. Answer. Repeat sample draw 10000x. How many archetypes can you find after running Doc2Vec & PCA? How many sets are there, and of those, how many are interesting? Within each set, how many are awful pastiche of regurgitated
opinions that the writers ingested at some primordial time in the womb?
Basically I'm upset that there's such a thing as the analytical writing section on the GRE.
The 'Score 6' examples I've seen read like the unhinged ramblings of someone who barely passed AP English Lit. trying to keep it together while forced to manifest barely coherent ideas on some opinion he just read and had two minutes
to think about. And from this we expect this process we expect that the output is some reliable estimator of the person's analytical abilities and or their writing competencies?
Awful.
