I've played many games where, late in the game, the AI scores tend to settle out at a pretty constant upward slope, and I've also noticed my own doing the same. I've tried squeezing efficiency out of the choice of tiles I have developed, using great people to enhance cities' output, and even building gigantic militaries, and none of it seems to make any difference score-wise.
In fact, I've noticed on several occasions that my score will actually start to flatten out in doing all this, and the AI scores will go on steadily increasing, eventually surpassing mine... and there's nothing I can do about it. The only two solutions to jacking up one's score late in the game that I've found are:
1. Boost culture as much as you can all over, and sloooowly take over all the border cities around you. This gives some score benefit, though the amount of time you end up having to sit there and hit enter 20,000 times doesn't give much in the way of satisfaction of achievement once you've finally taken over one or two cities via culture.
2. War. Specifically, conquest of an entire AI territory, and the eventual rebuilding of all their cities.
