Multiple passes doesn't make it system 2. The defining characteristic of system 2 is consciousness which is expensive and slows down the system.
So to talk about system 2 in AI we need to talk about consciousness. As long as AI is not officially conscious there is no System 2 thinking implemented
Consciousness is ill defined hogwash when used in such descriptions.
The process of internal refinement without external action however fits.
Using system 1 and 2 for AI is ill defined hogwash indeed.
The systems apply for humans and describe conscious and subconscious processing. Without that the entire reference to thinking fast and slow is bullshit.
System 1 and 2 is a description of physical process in people.
Using conscious vs subconscious processing is not however a meaningful definition. Subconscious processing isn’t necessarily fast. Visual processing and sensory integration can be quite slow without any conscious input.
