Not only we don't have AGI but there is an ongoing discussion whether it's possible to have it at all.

It is simple, as ant cannot contain human, in the same way humans won't be able to contain AGI. Can it exist, yes it can - simply, can me and you think, yes. In a way we are "device", so therefore, it is possible to make intelligence similar and/or more powerful than our is.
I mean, yes, I can have a child and raise her to be smarter than me, but I don't really think that's what you have in mind.
The strong AGI proponents always resort to hand-waving and dubious analogies. There's no reason to think that building ever-larger ML models will produce an intelligence capable of comprehension and insights like a human mind unless you believe the human brain is nothing more than a bunch of weighted vectors.
Same as with bacteria. 'In May 2019, researchers, in a milestone effort, reported the creation of a new synthetic (possibly artificial) form of viable life,' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_life
Give human enough time and resources, we can replicate anything, that is in our nature.
