Yeah the framing seems inverted. We have a faster system 2 with llms, and system 1 is what decision models are hoping to be, but so far they just seem to be system 2 models without language output.

The terms don't seem to translate well, possibly because they were the wrong framing to begin with. Possibly also because the billions of years of progressively complex evolutionary constraint that brought about animal cognition does not seem likely to be reproduced by running backprop on human language artifacts.
