System 1 is rapid, uses heuristics to make quick judgements. Not rigorous. System 1 is the default mode.
System 2 is slow deliberate reasoning, energy intensive, and even humans get that wrong.
LLMs often use something like System 1 pattern matching, get the answer wrong initially, then can be prodded into trying again with a System 2 approach (chain of thought).
