This is an example of "metaphor-driven development" in AI, which Phil Agre criticized a few decades ago. System 1/System 2 isn't a real thing. It's just a metaphor Kahneman invented for a book. AI developers continually find metaphors about the brain, decide they are real, implement something which they give the same name, decide it's both real and the same thing because they have given it the same name, and then find it doesn't work. (Another common example is "world model", something which has never had a clear meaning, and if you did define it you'd find that people don't have one and don't need one.)
