I think they're referencing "Thinking, Fast and Slow" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow

"The book's main thesis is a differentiation between two modes of thought: "System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional; "System 2" is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. "

Yes, I understand the reference. I don't understand their argument that this is a good example of that common mental model for LLMs.

In this case "fast, instinctive, and emotional" models are better at instruction following than "slower, more deliberative, and more logical" models.
