Then you don't understand Machine Learning in any real way. Literally the 3rd or 4th thing you learn about ML is that for any given problem, there is an ideal model size. Just making the model bigger doesn't work because of something called the curse of dimensionality. This is something we have discovered about every single problem and type of learning algorithm used in ML. For LLMs, we probably moved past the ideal model size about 18 months ago. From the POV of something who actually learned ML in school (from the person who coined the term), I see no real reason to think that AGI will happen based upon the current techniques. Maybe someday. Probably not anytime soon.
PS The first thing you learn about ML is to compare your models to random to make sure the model didn't degenerate during training.
