Kant's model of epistemology, with humans schematizing conceptual understanding of objects through apperception of manifold impressions from our sensibility, and then reasoning about these objects using transcendental application of the categories, is a reasonable enough model of thought. It was (and is I think) a satisfactory answer for the question of how humans can produce synthetic a priori knowledge, something that LLMs are incapable of (don't take my word on that though, ChatGPT is more than happy to discuss [1])
