I don't know much about go, but AI is so much better at chess than humans there is no number of humans you could throw at the problem to beat the engine.
You are correct. The closest thing there is is called Centaur Chess where a human and computer work together. At least as of 2021, a human and computer combination could outperform just a computer indicating that a human still provides value to a chess engine.
I believe in Go that is no longer the case, however. A human provides no additional value to a Go engine.
