I really hope that "System One" won't stick around as a new buzzword simply meaning "fast".

  It already did, since 15 years ago.

    i'm well aware of the origin and meaning of the term
    > "System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional
    this implies more than just "fast", which is precisely why i don't like its present usage

    Instinctive is a good way to describe it compared to generative LLMs. Jev gives you one instant answer, fast and usually correct but without nuance or any explanation. Human instincts work the same way.

    In my testing Jev is not what I would call "usually correct" on most topics that involve knowledge of the world outside of the context you give it.

    Which is why "System 1" fits even more.

    System 1 isn't even a correct theory in the context of human reasoning, it's just pop-sci nonsense.
    TeMPOraL · 1790334465 · focus · HN ↗
    What is the correct theory then?
