This idea of unconscious thought being less transparent/understandable, yet stronger at addressing fluidly defined problems is highly reminiscent of the ongoing shift/debate of relying on human written code (explainable, possibly error prone, clearly handles precisely bounded problem spaces) versus generative AI/LLMs/neural nets (black box, more precise when given more time to optimize weights, can identify difficult-to-articulate patterns).
