    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'd argue that most human classification is pre-conscious / System One. You see a table, you recognize it as a table without asking yourself "is this a table?"

      I guess their marketing implies that it moves classification into system one response time.
