I'd say that knowledge (stored as weights) is acquired through experience (starting from a mostly blank start, weights are formed through exposure to training data). For me that's a useful mental model which helps me think about what a LLM is and isn't. 'Understanding' has an ambiguous meaning, while thought and senses are certainly not applicable. But it's a semantic discussion about a novel and not well understood topic so :shrug: :)
