Let us take the «continuous learning system» that is «coached»: very hopefully, it will not be literally «to conform to societal norms»¹, but to understand why it is appropriate or inappropriate to «call [the] aunty» one way or another.
The «continuous learning system» is either heuristic - an investigator - or an "artificial fool", of dubious utility (what is the use of something that "just has an opinion"). That poses an entity that reasons in a foundational context: why this and that.
If Kahneman - which I unfortunately have not yet had the time to read, though I was able to taste a bit of his interview by Lex Fridman - supposed that something "ineffable" oriented Einstein towards determinism and Bohr to more open stances, it is for their scientific work, valid on foundational grounds, that we remember them - not for their leanings.

¹Already a bit contradictory, if in school they teach you critical thought, as they did here since primary.
