The one thing I can't wrap my head around with Jev is why they're trying to create that "System One" narrative.

In real life, a human doesn't do classification tasks with the System One part of their brain, they use System Two. So by definition what Jev does isn't System One thinking.

If anything, regular programming that automatically executes based on logic, without requiring "thinking" would be "System One".

I assumed they call it System One just because it's fast and there's no chain of thought/reasoning.

Either way it's an analogy that's bound to be loose as Kahneman's modes are about humans.

It's just marketing. More specifically, it's an answer for why their model can't answer questions that require reasoning.

Huh? I guess that depends on the exact definition of "classification", but I think the bulk of basic classification tasks we make every day to make sense of our surroundings, such as object recognition is definitely done using system 1. So is higher-level "stereotyping" or anything you could described with "I know it when I see it".

Because those responses can be incorrect or even harmful, you would sometimes make use of system 2 to correct them - but that doesn't change that the initial response is from system 1.

Oh, I thought it was some weird branding thing. So then I looked it up.

"System One" and "System Two" were coined in some pop science book...so back to its usage being a marketing ploy.

Uninformed hype for their startup. And they did a great job.
